I am using Docker as Rootless. I dedicated the user gcadmin (UID 1001) to control the docker containers.
One of my container is running a mariaDB image.
I have configured a docker volume to get persistent storage in my docker-compose.yml file :
volumes:
...
./docker_volumes/mysql/data:/var/lib/mysql:rw
...
On first container startup, my data folder is created and populated using the user mysql (UID 999) :
// From within the container
root#f7e3b6722b0b:/var/lib/mysql# ls -la
drwxr-xr-x 6 mysql mysql 4096 Jul 25 15:44 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Jun 7 02:44 ..
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 18309120 Jul 25 14:59 aria_log.00000001
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 52 Jul 25 14:55 aria_log_control
On host side, the files appears as owned by UID 166534 :
gcadmin#host:~$ ls -la docker_volumes/mysql/data/
drwxr-xr-x 6 166534 166534 4096 juil. 25 15:44 .
drwxrwxr-x 5 gcadmin gcadmin 4096 juil. 25 14:51 ..
-rw-rw---- 1 166534 166534 18309120 juil. 25 14:59 aria_log.00000001
-rw-rw---- 1 166534 166534 52 juil. 25 14:55 aria_log_control
...
I understand that the 166534 come from userspace remapping : 165536 + 999 - 1 = 166534
gcadmin#host:~$ cat /etc/subuid
gcadmin:165536:65536
...
Now I want "gcadmin" to be able to remove the docker_volumes/mysql/data/ folder to reset MariaDB to its initial state.
gcadmin#host:~$ rm -rf docker_volumes/mysql/data/
rm: Unable to remove 'docker_volumes/mysql/data/multi-master.info': Permission denied
...
Of course gcadmin doesn't own the files and I get a permission error.
In my use case, "gcadmin" can't have root privileges for security reasons.
How can I remove the peristent data folder of MariaDB without having root privileges on host side ?

I am using a raspberry pi 3 with OSMC as the operating system along with Debian Stretch and nginx, and installed manually mariaDB 10.2 following some instructions I found somewhere a while back.
I have changed the datadir for mariadb to /media/USBHDD2/shared/mysql
When I boot, or reboot, the pi, mariaDB fails to start. Before, when I had the default datadir = /var/lib/mysql it was all fine. If I change it back it is fine.
However, if I login to the console I can successfully start it by using
service mysql start
Note that I am using 'service' rather than 'systemctl' - the latter does not work. The files mariadb.service and mysql.service do not exist anywhere.
In /etc/init.d I find two files: mysql and myswql which seem to be identical. If I remove the myswql from the directory mariadb won't start at all. I have tried editing these by putting, for example, a sleep 15 at the beginning, but to no avail. I have read all sorts of solutions about trying to test if the USBHDD2 is mounted, eg using
while ! test -f /media/USBHDD2/shared/test.txt
do
sleep 1
done
which I tried in the /etc/init.d/mysql and myswql files, and also in rc.local before calling for the start of mysql.
But that doesn't work either.
I also renamed the links in rc?.d to S99mysql so is starts after everything else, still no joy.
I have spent two full days on this to no avail. What do I need to do to get this working so that mysql starts on boot?
Files system is ntfs
output from ls -la //media/USBHDD2/shared/mysql is as follows:

The problem is that the external drive is configured as ntfs.
Mysql requires the files and directory to be owned by mysql:mysql but since the ntfs does not have the same system of owners and groups as linux, the linux mount process asigns its own owner and group to the filestructure when mounting the drive. By defualt this ends up being root:root so mysql cannot use them.
ntfs does not allow CHOWN to work, so there is no way to change the ownership away from root.
One solution is to backup all the files, repartition as EXT4, and then restore all the files.
The solution I finally used was to specify mysql as the owner and group at the time that the drive is being mounted. Thus my /etc/fstab file was changed to:
ID=C2CA68D9CA68CB6D /media/USBHDD2 ntfs users,exec,uid=mysql,gid=mysql 0 2
and now mysql starts properly at boot.
phew ;-)
Thanks #danblack for getting me thinking in the right direction
On Ubuntu 19.10, I have a broken install/removal of MariaDB. I attempted every solution to this sort of problem. Yet I still can't replace MariaDB with mysql-server and am seemingly unable to remove MariaDB.
What is left on the system in /var/lib/dpkg/info/mariadb* that I want to go away is:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 118 Oct 27 14:02 mariadb-client-10.3.list
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 174 Aug 2 10:53 mariadb-client-10.3.postrm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28 Oct 27 14:02 mariadb-common.list
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 361 Aug 2 10:53 mariadb-common.postrm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 509 Oct 27 14:02 mariadb-server-10.3.list
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3449 Aug 2 10:53 mariadb-server-10.3.postrm
Yet when I try anything like:
sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/mariadb* /tmp/
sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq mariadb (or variations)
gives only:
dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove mariadb-server which isn't installed
SO how do I rebuild the database of installed packages??? and create a health system again??
mysqld: [ERROR] Could not open required defaults file
I'm trying to configure MySQL-Cluster with the Auto-Installer. When I deploy and start the cluster I get the following message when starting the sql nodes
Error 1
So I checked the permissions of the files. ls -l looks like this:
drwxrwxr-x 3 mysql ubuntu 4096 Sep 10 03:00 1

drwxrwxr-x 5 mysql ubuntu 4096 Sep 10 03:03 53
And inside the 53 folder:

drwxrwxr-x 2 mysql ubuntu 4096 Sep 10 03:00 tmp
I have tried to run the command manually and I get the following message:

Edit 1: I'm using Ubuntu 18.04.1 and MySQL Cluster 7.6.7 installed with the .deb files
I'm using OSX and running docker over a Boot2docker VM.
I've been trying to figure out how to persist a container's data (MySQL official docker image) to the host but without much success.
I keep receiving an error stating that the /var/lib/mysql directory that the MySQL service is trying to write to is not accessible.
docker run -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=12345 -v "$(pwd)/.docker-volumes/mysql:/var/lib/mysql" mysql:5.6
Looking at the permissions of the mounted library in the container, this is what I see:
root#mysql:/# ls -la /var/lib/

As you can see, the mysql directory is owned by 1000 and belongs to the group 'staff'.
My assumption is that the service process running MySQL is probably set to another user (mysql) and therefore I get this error.
I've read that this specific issue can be solved using volume data containers, but since they persist the data only until the last container actually uses their volume, It's not a good solution for me.
Am I approaching this in the wrong way?
Thanks.
You're definitely better off using a data-volume container, I do the same thing with local psql and couchdb databases. The data actually persists, it's just not accessible unless you link the volume to a container. To actually force the volume to be removed you have to specify docker rm -v, that will remove the data volume if no other container is linked to it.
I have installed the following packages --
libevent-2.0.21
memcached-1.4.17
libmemcached-0.34
memcached_functions_mysql_1.1
All of the above have been installed successfully.
The output of the ldconfig -v command (the part where it shows that libmemcached libraries have been included) is as follows:
$ldconfig -v
/usr/local/libmemcached/lib:
libmemcached.so.3 -> libmemcached.so.3.0.0
libmemcachedprotocol.so.0 -> libmemcachedprotocol.so.0.0.0
libmemcachedutil.so.0 -> libmemcachedutil.so.0.0.0
But when I try to load UDF's into mysql using the install_functions.sql that is shipped with memcache_functions it throws the following error:
ERROR 1126 (HY000) at line 38: Can't open shared library 'libmemcached_functions_mysql.so' (errno: 0 libmemcached.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

Installing memcached on Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (64 bit)
Python - 2.6.8
MySQL – 5.5.28
Zope – 2.12.19
1. Install memcached
apt-get install memcached
2. Install libmemcached -0 .34 (Version is very important. May or may not work with other versions).
Download it from https://launchpad.net/libmemcached/
tar xvf libmemcached-0.34.tar.gz
sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr/lib/libmemcached --with-memcached=/usr/bin/memcached
sudo make
sudo make install.
3. Install memcached_functions_mysql (Version 1.1 used at the time of the installation. (To create UDF’s that are invoked by triggers to manipulate the cache).
Downloading from https://launchpad.net/memcached-udfs
sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/memcached_mysql --libdir=/usr/lib/mysql/plugin --with-mysql=/usr/bin/mysql_config --with-libmemcached=/usr/lib/libmemcached
sudo make
sudo make install
Navigate to the “sql” folder inside the memcached_mysql_functions directory.
mysql –u <username> -p < install_functions.sql
4. For Zope users
Install python-memcached-1.53
Download it from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-memcached/
Navigate to the extracted python-memcached directory.
/home/zope/zope/bin/python setup.py install
5. Edit the script containing which imports the modules.
allow_module('memcache')
from memcache import Client
allow_class(Client)
allow_module('memcache.Client.get')
allow_module('memcache.Client.set')
This is done so that memcache can be imported and used in your Restricted Python scripts.
If an external method is used to handle the above case, then the file does need to be updated with the above content.
