I don’t see a mariadb@.service file on centos 7. I need to install multiple instances of mariadb 10.1 though and have them run from systemd (on the same server). The doc page https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/systemd/ says that it’s installed on “some” systems. Apparently, some does not include Centos 7.

So, is there a way to obtain a copy of the relevant file(s) needed to run multiple instances? Perhaps from another distribution? Seems like it’s a much better starting point than trying to create all that myself. Or, will it simply not work?

What is the best way then to run multiple instances on Centos 7?
