Setup MySQL Master-Slave replication in Debian 8

This short howto should also fit for other distros, perhaps with some differences in the paths!

Master

In /etc/mysql/my.cnf change bind-address to 0.0.0.0
Set a unique server-id
log_bin=mysql-bin
log_error=mysql-bin.err
binlog_do_db=your-db
Login to mysql and create a replication user
mysql> grant replication slave on *.* to ‚replication’@slave-ip identified by ‚password‘;
service mysql restart
Dump your DB (if already exists) or create it as stated in binlog_do_db on both sides
Login and write down the result of show master status;

Slave

In /etc/mysql/my.cnf change bind-address to 0.0.0.0
Set a unique server-id
replicate-do-db as above
log_bin=mysql-bin
log_error=mysql-bin.err
service mysql restart
Login to mysql and:
CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST=’master-ip‘,MASTER_USER=’replication‘, MASTER_PASSWORD=’password-from-master‘, MASTER_LOG_FILE=’mysql-bin.output-from-master‘, MASTER_LOG_POS= output-from-master;
START SLAVE;
Check with SHOW SLAVE STATUS\G; (Slave_IO_Running: Yes and Slave_SQL_Running: Yes)
