Is there a way to hot copy a database from one machine to another and restrict network access to only between those two machines without using a firewall?
Hot copy? mariabackup, for example.
I think I want a hot copy. For years I've run my custom mailing list set up on mysql on the local box with apache. I migrated resently to a new box and new OS (artix with openrc). I wrote the new init scripts but I decided to seperate the mailing list, and the database from the webserver. And I closed down IP coonections, just because I got sick of the port being hammered. Now, I had two choices, to change the software to talk across the open local area network, and move the database to the webserver... or hot copy, which I know maria has been able to do for a while, but I never implimented it. But i want to do this and restrict connections to the internal network. It is easy enough to justblock the external ports but I would rather do this through the database.
Restrict network access? Specify the correct peer ip address or a host name when creating a user.
