MySQL-Cluster fails to start - mysql

Question

This is not my first time creating an ndb cluster but I hadn't received such a problem.
I am following this manual by team mysql.
I am using the default configuration echoed in this GitHub repository.
When I start my ndb_mgmd container, it returns the following error:
$ docker run -d --net=cluster --name=management1 --ip=192.168.0.2 mysql/mysql-cluster ndb_mgmd
The log I receive is:
$ docker logs management1
It returns the following lines
[Entrypoint] MySQL Docker Image 8.0.24-1.2.2-cluster
[Entrypoint] Starting ndb_mgmd
Failed to open /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/shared_cpu_list: No such file or directory
ndb_mgmd: [ERROR] unknown variable 'user='.
MySQL Cluster Management Server mysql-8.0.24 ndb-8.0.24
and the container exits immediately. I am not sure if it is a bug, thus I write it in SO.

Answer 1

It is a bug.
I run plain echo and --user= is appended to the commandline by docker image.
$ docker run -d --net=cluster --name=management1 --ip=192.168.0.2 mysql/mysql-cluster echo
55b11ea72989fad50b29fe199ad54ebe2a919079770d0188512a465699e8a256
$ docker logs management1
[Entrypoint] MySQL Docker Image 8.0.24-1.2.2-cluster
--user=
Probably some workaround that works starting the MySQL server, but not suitable for Ndb programs.
Edit#1:
Until new docker images are fixed and out you can try the below workaround.
It overrides the faulty entrypoint script when starting the ndb processes with --entrypoint=/usr/bin/env (note, must be before image mysql/mysql-cluster).
And using explicit command line options extracted from entrypoint script at https://github.com/mysql/mysql-docker/blob/main/mysql-cluster/8.0/docker-entrypoint.sh .
For management server override entrypoint and add -f /etc/mysql-cluster.cnf --nodaemon:
$ docker run -d --net=cluster --name=management1 --ip=192.168.0.2 --entrypoint=/usr/bin/env mysql/mysql-cluster ndb_mgmd -f /etc/mysql-cluster.cnf --nodaemon
The two data nodes (I choose ndbmtd instead of ndbd) override entrypoint and add --nodaemon:
$ docker run -d --net=cluster --name=ndb1 --ip=192.168.0.3 --entrypoint=/usr/bin/env mysql/mysql-cluster ndbmtd --nodaemon
$ docker run -d --net=cluster --name=ndb2 --ip=192.168.0.4 --entrypoint=/usr/bin/env mysql/mysql-cluster ndbmtd --nodaemon
When starting the mysqld you should not override the entrypoint, stick to the manual.
Edit#2:
The mysql-cluster docker image is now fixed, pull the new image and recreate containers.
$ docker pull mysql/mysql-cluster
Using default tag: latest
latest: Pulling from mysql/mysql-cluster

Answer 2

This proved to be a bug. Until being fixed, one can do the following:
1- Clone the mysql-docker
git clone https://github.com/mysql/mysql-docker.git
2- Checkout an earlier tag (1.1.19-cluster checked and verified)
git checkout 1.1.19-cluster
3- build the image and use it later.
docker build -t mysql-cluster-customized 8.0/
4- run management cluster
docker run -d --net=cluster --name=management1 --ip=192.168.0.2 -it mysql-cluster-customized ndb_mgmd
I hope it helps while mysql team is fixing the issue with the repository head.
