Requesting Access to EOL Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.7 Packages for Adding a Node

MySQL & MariaDB Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.x
,

Hi, we’re trying to add another node to our Percona XtraDB Cluster (PXC) 5.7, but we’re stuck because the repository packages are no longer available since MySQL 5.7 reached EOL in 2023. I found Percona’s documentation stating that we need to request a Client ID and Access Token to access the EOL packages. However, the support from percona says that I just need to ask here so I can be granted an access. Is there anyone who have an idea regarding this issue?

Hey @danielle_de_guzman
The repositories are still available Percona Repo
You can enable them using our percona-release script. But these repositories contain only packages that were released before PXC-57 became EOL.
Also we have MySQL 5.7 EOL program and you can leave the request to join this program here:

hey @danielle_de_guzman

I just tried to install PXC-57 in ubuntu 22.04 docker image. Here is a set of command that I used to install it

    apt update
    apt install wget
    wget https://repo.percona.com/apt/percona-release_1.0-29.generic_all.deb
    apt install ./percona-release_1.0-29.generic_all.deb 
    percona-release enable pxc-57 release
    percona-release enable pxb-24 release
    apt install percona-xtradb-cluster-server-5.7
    
    service mysql start

In result I got running PXC node:
