I am facing one issue with docker, L am using laradock docker env for laravel. Since it has issue with mysql version I had to run those command:
$ docker-compose exec mysql bash
$ mysql -u root -p
ALTER USER 'root'#'localhost' indentified WITH mysql_native_password BY 'root';
Also imported database through http://localhost:8080 and phpmyadmin
So I am trying to reproduce this issue again, so I deleted everything from docker with
$ docker system prune
but when I rebuild the containers
sudo docker-compose up -d nginx mysql phpmyadmin workspace
My previous database is loaded again.
So my question would be how to delete db and MySQL settings, so I can execute the alter command and import database again.
Overall I am trying to determine if this issue with MySQL will occur on another platform again, so I am trying to reproduce it from scratch and that is why I need to reset completely MySQL env and databases.
So not sure where MySQL settings are stored and how to delete them.
MySQL is storing most of the important information of your container in a volume.
Now, the command:
docker system prune
do not remove the volumes, per default.
If you also want to remove them, you can run:
docker system prune --volumes
If you do want to list or act on those specific volumes:
docker volume --help
would give you all the commands on volumes like rm, ls, ...

Greetings and thanks in advance, I'm actually new to docker and docker-compose, watching a lot of videos and reading a lot of articles so far along with trying things.
I've got a front end container and a back end container that build and run alone as a Dockerfile and in a docker-compose setup.
(I've been building with Dockerfile first and then integrating the containers into docker-compose to make sure i understand things correctly)
I'm at the point where i need my database info, since i'll use docker-compose, as i understand it, it should build under the same network with a react front end and django back end.
I have a backup mysql dump file that I'm working with, what i think i need to do is have a container running mysql server and serving out my tables (like I have it locally working). I haven't been able to figure out how to import the backup into my docker mysql container.
Any help is appreciated.
What I've tried so far is using docker in the command line to outline the pieces i'll need in the Dockerfile and then what to move into the docker-compose as mentioned above:
docker run -d --name root -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root mysql # to create my db container
Then I've tried a bunch of commands and permutations of commands, recently in the CLI, here are some of my most recent trials and errors:
docker exec -i root mysql -uroot -proot --force < /Users/homeImac/Downloads/dump-dev-2020-11-10-22-43-06.dmp
ERROR 1046 (3D000) at line 22: No database selected
docker exec -i f803170ce38b sh -c 'exec mysql -uroot -p"root"' < /Users/homeImac/Downloads/dump-dev-2020-11-10-22-43-06.dmp
ERROR 1046 (3D000) at line 22: No database selected
docker exec -i f803170ce38b sh -c 'exec mysql -uroot -h 192.168.1.51 -p"root"' < /Users/homeImac/Downloads/dump-dev-2020-11-10-22-43-06.dmp
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'#'homeimac' (using password: YES)
I've scoured the web so far and i'm not sure where to go next, have I got the right idea? If anyone has an example of how to import a database dump (in dmp or dmp.gz), once i get that working, I'll actually do that in the docker-compose file.
Thinking about it, i just have to create the container and import so I might not even need a Dockerfile.
I'll cross that bridge when i get there. This is what I'm thinking though:
db:
image: mysql:5.7
restart: always
environment:
MYSQL_DATABASE: 'app'
etc etc
I've learned a lot super fast, maybe too fast. Thanks for any tips!
The answer to your question is given in the docker hub page of MySQL.
Initializing a fresh instance
When a container is started for the first time, a new database with the specified name will be created and initialized with the provided configuration variables. Furthermore, it will execute files with extensions .sh, .sql and .sql.gz that are found in /docker-entrypoint->initdb.d. Files will be executed in alphabetical order. You can easily populate your mysql services by mounting a SQL dump into that directory and provide custom images with contributed data. SQL files will be imported by default to the database specified by the MYSQL_DATABASE variable.
In your docker-compose.yml use:
volumes:
- ${PWD}/config/start.sql:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/start.sql
and that's it.
Here's the answer that worked for me after working with 2 colleagues that know backend better where I work.
It was pretty simple actually. I created a directory in my repo that would be empty.
I added *.sql and *.dmp to my .gitignore so the dump files would not increase the size of my image.
That directory using docker-compose would be used as a volume under the mysql service:
volumes:
- ~/workspace/app:/workspace/app
The dump file is placed there and is imported into the sql service when I run:
mysql -u app -papp app < /path/to/the/dumpfile
I can go in using docker exec and verify not only the database is there but the tables from my dump file are there as well.
For me, I had to create a new superuser also in my backend container through our Django app.
python3 manage.py createsuperuser
With that, then logging in on localhost:8000/api, everything was linked up between the mysql, backend, and frontend containers.
Hope this helps! I'm sure not all the details are the same for others post volumes, but using volumes, I didn't have to copy any dump file in and it ended up automatically imported and served. That was my big issue.
another way:
docker exec -i containername mysql -uroot -ppassword mysql < dump.sql
from the folder where dump.sql resides
In my Dockerfile
FROM mysql:5.7
ADD ./mysql_scripts /mysql_scripts
WORKDIR /mysql_scripts
RUN mysql -u root -p < create_user.sql &&\
mysql -u root -p < create_database.sql &&\
mysql -u root -p < create_tables.sql
EXPOSE 3306
but when I build that image I have problem like:Enter password: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'
You cannot run those mysql commands, because the container is not running yet, so neither is MySQL.
What you can do is copy your .sql files to /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d. MySQL will run all .sql, .sql.gz and .sh located in this directory after initialization, which would result in the following Dockerfile:
FROM mysql:5.7
COPY ./mysql_scripts /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d
EXPOSE 3306
More information can be found on the dockerhub page of mysql
You can not import database at build time, as every RUN command run in separate shell plus MySQL process also not ready to accept the connection.
You can take benefits from docker entrypoint that does these out of the box.
COPY create_user.sql /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/
COPY create_database.sql /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/
COPY create_tables.sql /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/
So when the container started it will run the above script in alphabetical order
When a container is started for the first time, a new database with the specified name will be created and initialized with the provided configuration variables.

SQL files will be imported by default to the database specified by the MYSQL_DATABASE variable.
mysql-docker-init-db
Also you use MYSQL_USER to create user.
All my experience with Docker so far has led me to believe that containers are stateless.
If so, why is my container storing the password that I change it to after the first run if I spun it up without specifying a volume or bind mount? I am especially puzzled since none of the other edits I make to the dbms persist (like creating tables).
Additional Details:
Versions:
1. Docker - 18.09.0 build 4d60db4
2. Image - mysql/mysql-server:latest
Commands:
1. $ docker run --name=sql -d mysql/mysql-server:latest
2. $ docker logs sql 2>&1 | grep GENERATED to grab the generated password for first login
3. $ docker exec -it sql mysql -uroot -p
4. mysql> Enter Password: <generated password>
5. mysql> ALTER USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'stkoverflw';
6. mysql> exit
7. $ docker stop sql
8. $ docker start sql
9. $ docker exec -it sql mysql -uroot -p
10. mysql> Enter Password: <stkoverflw>
How does the password configuration persist across restarts of the container?
Containers are not stateless. Containers are easy to create and destroy, so they can be used to run a service which is stateless, but each container is itself stateful.
When the container is running, there is a volume containing its root filesystem. You don't have to tell Docker to create it. Docker has to create it because otherwise where do the container's files go?
When you say docker stop, the container stops running but it is not destroyed. When you say docker start, the same container resumes with the same root volume. That's where the changed password persists. The process running in the container was stopped and a new process was started (so state held in memory would be lost), but the filesystem is still there.
To get rid of a container (including the changed password), say docker rm. Then you can say docker run to start from scratch.
I'm trying to use MySQL docker container in my host system to make installation and configuration processes much easier and faster.
So, I've pulled an image from:
https://hub.docker.com/r/mysql/mysql-server/
Then started container based on this image..
Container started fine, but I was not able to connect to this DB from my host system (everything is ok if I try to connect from container). It failed with a message:
ERROR 1130 (HY000): Host '<here goes my IP>' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server
So, as I understand, my root user has no enough permissions.
I've entered my container:
docker exec -it mysql bash
Connected to DB:
mysql -uroot -ppassword
Updated permissions for my root user:
use mysql;
UPDATE user SET Host="%" WHERE User='root';
It's updated fine.
Than I decided to save my updated image somehow... I've found this guide:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E52668_01/E75728/html/section_c5q_n2z_fp.html
After executing:
docker stop mysql
docker commit -m "Fixed permissions for root user" -a "Few words about author" `docker ps -l -q` myrepo/mysql:v1
docker rm mysql
docker run --name new-mysql -p 3306:3306 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=pass -d myrepo/mysql:v1
I've found that my root user hasn't permissions again.
What is wrong here?
How to public my updated image into my Dockerhub?
My original answer is for persisting the change in the MySQL data after it has been initialized. But since you want to do this in the image for every initialization automatically there is a different approach for this. You can use one of the following options:
There is an environment variable called MYSQL_ROOT_HOST for this image where you can set the host (https://github.com/mysql/mysql-docker/blob/mysql-server/5.7/docker-entrypoint.sh#L63-L69). You should be able to set this to % to allow all hosts to connect as root such as -e MYSQL_ROOT_HOST="%".
The image supports adding SQL files to /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/ to be initialized on startup (https://github.com/mysql/mysql-docker/blob/mysql-server/5.7/docker-entrypoint.sh#L98-L105). You can create your SQL file that has UPDATE mysql.user SET Host="%" WHERE User='root'; in it and then ADD that file to /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/ in your own image. Then, when starting a container based on that image it will initialize that SQL file.
That image specifies a default volume to hold the MySQL data at https://github.com/mysql/mysql-docker/blob/mysql-server/5.7/Dockerfile#L11. When you start the container, a volume is created for that container. When you update the permissions for the root user, it is saved in this volume (it is actually part of MySQL data for the mysql database). But once you remove the container, that volume is also lost.
There are usually two things you can do in this case to preserve the data between container restarts or even new containers:
Create a named volume and mount the data there. To do this you can run docker volume create mysqldata. Then, when starting the container mount the data with -v mysqldata:/var/lib/mysql. This volume will persist even after you stop or delete your MySQL container.
Bind mount the data to a host folder. Instead of creating a volume, you can just mount a folder such as -v /mnt/mysqldata:/var/lib/mysql. This will persist all your MySQL data on the host at /mnt/mysqldata.
Though, these are not the only ways to persist data, they are two built-in methods. There are also Docker volume plugins that allow you to use other storage mediums (examples might be https://github.com/rancher/convoy for NFS and https://github.com/NetApp/netappdvp for NetApp).
docker exec -it mysql bash
chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql
if you change permission of volume in host, above code will correct permission denied for root.
I am using Docker to create a dockerfile with mysql as the base image:
FROM mysql
#set root pass
ENV MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD password
#update linux
RUN apt-get update
#create database
RUN mysql -u root -ppassword -e "CREATE DATABASE dbname"
#install vim
RUN apt-get install vim -y
The dockerfile fails on the step where I try to create a database, it doesn't finish building and i receive this error:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'
When I remove the #create database run command the dockerfile will build and I am able to run a container from that image. I know that it isn't a problem with the mysql server as I can enter the container and run the mysql command manually with success and the service status is running.
Using an environment variable i.e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD within the file also allows me to create a database successfully but this will only work with a single database, I need to be able to use the mysql command to make queries, such as creating additional databases / assigning users etc.
This may be because I need to specify the host and port of the docker container but this still does not allow me to connect
RUN mysql -u root -ppassword -h 127.0.0.1 -P 3308 -e "CREATE DATABASE dbname"
Strangely, doing this also often crashes the container and puts it in a state where it will crash again on start-up every time that I try to restart it again.
I think the issue might be that in the service hasn't started within the container used to build your Dockerfile.
Try starting and configuring MySQL server within a single step. As a reference please check this file: https://github.com/dockerfile/mysql/blob/master/Dockerfile
Use below-given commands in your Dockerfile:
RUN service mysql restart && echo 'CREATE DATABASE db_name;' | mysql -uroot -
pYOUR_ROOT_PASSWORD
Had the very same problem: When starting the container and running a set of RUN instructions, or .sh or .sql scripts in /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/ no connection to the database server could be established.
I found the solution by a comment of #wpalmer on the mysql-image:
The init scripts run by the entrypoint, internally, use the variable "${mysql[#]}" to call mysql (for example, when loading .sql files placed in the docker-entrypoint-initdb.d directory. Any .sh files which are processed by the entrypoint are included by "sourcing" them, meaning that variable is available for use by any .sh files which are run).
So what this means for you, instead of providing the plain mysql command with user, pass etc. as in
RUN mysql -u root -ppassword -e "CREATE DATABASE dbname"
use the placeholder instead:
RUN "${mysql[#]}" -e "CREATE DATABASE dbname"
You can try to build other image and run the create DB from there.
Example of docker-compose.yml
web:
build: web
links:
- "db:db.local"
entrypoint: entrypoint.sh
db:
build: db
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: password
command: mysqld
For entrypoint.sh you put something like this:
#!/bin/sh
#this is a hack to wait until the DB image is up and the port is open
until mysqladmin -u root -ppassword -e -h db.local ping; do
echo "$(date) - waiting for mysql"
sleep 3
done
if ! mysql -u root -ppassword -e -h db -e 'use dbname'; then
mysql -u root -ppassword -e "CREATE DATABASE dbname"
fi
exec "$#"
You can copy your queries as .sql file into "/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d" container directory. mysql will execute them after starting container
COPY ./init/db.sql /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/
