Why is docker compose creating mysql container with wrong name? - mysql

I have managed to create a MySQL and PHP container and my scripts execute and all my tables are there.
However I have a database that I call "myDb" and a user that is called "someuser" and when the database is created for some reason the name of the database is "somedatabase"
my docker-compose.yaml file:
services:
mysql:
image: mysql:latest
ports:
- 3307:3306
environment:
MYSQL_DATABASE: myDb
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: SomeRootPassword1!
MYSQL_USER: someuser
MYSQL_PASSWORD: Password1!
volumes:
- ./dbScript/winit_Script2.sql:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/winit_Script2.sql
- db_data:/var/lib/mysql
phpmyadmin:
image: phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin
container_name: dev_pma
links:
- mysql
environment:
PMA_HOST: mysql
PMA_PORT: 3307
PMA_ARBITRARY: 1
restart: always
ports:
- 8183:80
volumes:
db_data:
phpAdmin:
Mysqlworkbench:
What have I done wrong here?
A little edit after the comments:
It would seem that when having a volumes section you create volumes in docker
and when you create a volume on a specific port once then it gets reused every time you do docker-compose up. This was the case for me.
More details in accepted answer.

The mysql image does not initialize the database if the volume is not clean.
When you are stopping and starting the database from the same compose file, the volume is always the same, hence you want the data to be persisted even after an app restart.
To force the re-initialization of the data, you can delete that docker volume(only if you no longer need that database! this cannot be undone):
First, stop and delete the containers.
Then list and delete the volume that persists the database:
docker volume ls
DRIVER VOLUME NAME
local <your-deployment-name>_db_data
docker volume rm <your-deployment-name>_db_data
Then run again the docker-compose up command and you'll be able to find the myDb in phpMyAdmin instead of somedb
Edit:
Unless you change yourself the entrypoint and rebuild the image to force it initialize your DB according to the ENV you're passing, even if the volume is not clean, the only option that comes to my mind is to create the new DB manually. Here is the conditional that skips the re-initialization of the DB and here is the script that is invoked if the volume is clean.

Mysql containter data persistance, dockerfile doubts

I'm using this docker-compose script to bring up 2 containers, one of which is a Mysql instance.
I'm new to it so I'm sorry if this may sound dumb but I'm sure I'm making some mistake here.
This is my compose file, I've seen other post and it seems like this is the way to mount a volume.
version: '3.1'
services:
db:
container_name: mysql
image: mysql:latest
command: --default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password
restart: always
ports:
- 3002:3306
expose:
- '3306'
volumes:
- "c:/dockerData/mysql:/var/lib/mysql"
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: xxx
MYSQL_DATABASE: xxx
MYSQL_USER: xxx
MYSQL_PASSWORD: xxx
I'm testing everything on my laptop, whenever I reboot docker or I send a docker-compose down (ad up again) the tables disappear and I only find a Database with nothing on it. all the tables are currently stored in the volume's host folder but not used anymore by the database.
Everything I do in the other container (nodered with the same persistence) works
just fine and every modification is stored correctly.
Am I missing something?
Thanks :)
You can check c:/dockerData/mysql and see if the files are correctly generated there when the container is up.
If the data files disappear only when the container is started the next time, that would mean that you have a startup script that is deleting / creating the DB upon startup.

docker-compose mysql init sql is not executed

I am trying to set up a mysql docker container and execute init sql script. Unfortunately the sql script is not executed. What am I doing wrong?
version: '3.3'
services:
api:
container_name: 'api'
build: './api'
ports:
- target: 8080
published: 8888
protocol: tcp
mode: host
volumes:
- './api:/go/src/app'
depends_on:
- 'mysql'
mysql:
image: 'mysql:latest'
container_name: 'mysql'
volumes:
- ./db_data:/var/lib/mysql:rw
- ./database/init.sql:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/init.sql:ro
restart: always
environment:
MYSQL_USER: test
MYSQL_PASSWORD: test
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: test
MYSQL_DATABASE: test
ports:
- '3306:3306'
volumes:
db_data:
I execute file with docker-compose up -d --build
The docker-entrypoint-initdb.d folder will only be run once while the container is created (instantiated) so you actually have to do a docker-compose down -v to re-activate this for the next run.
If you want to be able to add sql files at any moment you can look here at a specialized MySql docker image... http://ivo2u.nl/o4
Update for M1 arch:
Here an almost drop-in replacement in MariaDB: http://ivo2u.nl/V1
Many containerized applications, especially stateful ones, have a way of running init scripts (like the sql scripts here) and they are supposed to run only once.
And since they are stateful, the volumes are a source of truth for the containers on whether to run the init scripts or not on container restart.
Like in your case, deleting the folder used for bind mount or using a new named volume should re-run any init scripts present.
These scripts run when you create the container, not every time you start it.
You can docker-compose up --force-recreate mysql to force those scripts to re-run.
Additionally, if you have a volume like this ./db_data:/var/lib/mysql:rw, then you also need to remove ./db_data before recreating the container.
I'm not a docker expert, but this worked for me.

Moving Wordpress site to Docker: Error establishing DB connection

Ive been making new sites with Wordpress & Docker recently and have a reasonable grasp of how it all works and Im now looking to move some established sites into Docker.
Ive been following this guide:
https://stephenafamo.com/blog/moving-wordpress-docker-container/
I have everything setup as it should be but when I go to my domain.com:1234 I get the error message 'Error establishing a database connection'. I have changed 'DB HOST' to 'mysql' in wp-config.php as advised and all the DB details from the site Im bringing in are correct.
I have attached to the mysql container and checked that the db is there and with the right user and also made sure the pw is correct via mysql CLI too.
SELinux is set to permissive and I havent changed any dir/file ownership nor permissions and for the latter dirs are all 755 and files 644 as they should be.
Edit: I should mention that database/data and everything under that seem to be owned by user/group 'polkitd input' instead of root.
Docker logs aren't really telling me much either apart from the 500 error messages for the WP container when I browse the site on port 1234 (as expected though).
This is the docker-compose file:
version: '2'
services:
example_db:
image: mysql:latest
container_name: example_db
volumes:
- ./database/data:/var/lib/mysql
- ./database/initdb.d:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d
restart: always
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: password123 # any random string will do
MYSQL_DATABASE: mydomin_db # the name of your mysql database
MYSQL_USER: my domain_me # the name of the database user
MYSQL_PASSWORD: password123 # the password of the mysql user
example:
depends_on:
- example_db
image: wordpress:php7.1 # we're using the image with php7.1
container_name: example
ports:
- "1234:80"
restart: always
links:
- example_db:mysql
volumes:
- ./src:/var/www/html
Suggestions most welcome as Im out of ideas!
With the new version of docker-compose it will look like this (if you don't want to use PhpMyAdmin you can leave it out):
version: '3.7'
volumes:
wp-data:
networks:
wp-back:
services:
db:
image: mysql:5.7
volumes:
- wp-data:/var/lib/mysql
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: rootPassword
MYSQL_DATABASE: wordpress
MYSQL_USER: wp-user
MYSQL_PASSWORD: wp-pass
ports:

networks:
- wp-back
phpmyadmin:
depends_on:
- db
image: phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin
environment:
PMA_HOST: db
MYSQL_USER: wp-user
MYSQL_PASSWORD: wp-pass
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: rootPassword
ports:
- 3001:80
networks:
- wp-back
wordpress:
depends_on:
- db
image: wordpress:latest
ports:
- 8888:80
- 443:443
environment:
WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: db
WORDPRESS_DB_USER: wp-user
WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: wp-pass
volumes:
- ./wordpress-files:/var/www/html
container_name: wordpress-site
networks:
- wp-back
The database volume is a named volume wp-data, while the wordpress html is a bind-mount to your current directory ./wordpress-files .
make sure that the wp-config.php file has same credentials defined for db_user, db_password as in docker-composer yml file. I too had similar problem i deleted all the files and re-installed and saw that docker-composer up -d would start everything but the wp-config.php file contents for mysql settings were not defined as in docker. so i changed it accordingly and started working eventually
Please take a look at the following compose script. I tried and tested. It works fine.
version: '2'
services:
db:
image: mysql:latest
container_name: db_server
volumes:
- ./database/data:/var/lib/mysql
- ./database/initdb.d:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d
restart: always
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: password123 # any random string will do
MYSQL_DATABASE: udb_test # the name of your mysql database
MYSQL_USER: me_prname # the name of the database user
MYSQL_PASSWORD: password123 # the password of the mysql user
example:
depends_on:
- db
image: wordpress:php7.1 # we're using the image with php7.1
container_name: wp-web
environment:
WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: db:3306
WORDPRESS_DB_USER: me_prname
WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: password123
WORDPRESS_DB_NAME: udb_test
ports:
- "1234:80"
restart: always
volumes:
- ./src:/var/www/html
Let me know if you encounter further issues.
if you want it all in one container you can refer this repo here,
https://github.com/akshayshikre/lamp-alpine/tree/development
Here from lamp-alpine image is used
Then mysql, php, apache2 (lamp stack) is installed and copied local wordpress demosite and db for demo purpose
if you do not want any kind of continuous integration part ignore .circleci folder
Check docker-compose file and Dockerfile, Environment variables are in .env file
I share with you my approach
Show running version, question to see if all is well on your side!
$ docker --version && docker-compose --version
run Docker Copose file
$ docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d
after you wait fast forward
show running containers and name of the Wordpress Container is listening on port 8000
$ docker ps
you will see the name of your WordPress container on the table as follows if you have followed the steps listed on their site
https://hub.docker.com/_/wordpress
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
xxxxxxxxxxxx wordpress:latest "docker-entrypoint.s…" 8 minutes ago Up 8 minutes 0.0.0.0:8000->80/tcp cms_wordpress_1
xxxxxxxxxxxx mysql:5.7 "docker-entrypoint.s…" 8 minutes ago Up 8 minutes 3306/tcp, 33060/tcp cms_db_1
and if you check your browser with the address : localhost:8000
you will get the message "error establishing DB connection"
launch bash inside the Wordpress container
$ docker exec -it cms_wordpress_1 bash
apt update fails as there is no connectivity
$ apt update
open up new terminal and show current Firewalld configuration
$ sudo cat /etc/firewalld/firewalld-workstation.conf | greb 'FirewallBackend'
currently set to 'nftables'
set value to 'iptables'
$ sudo sed -i 's/FirewallBackend=nftables/FirewallBackend=iptables/g' /etc/firewalld/firewalld-workstation.conf
confirme new value
$ sudo cat /etc/firewalld/firewalld-workstation.conf | grep 'FirewallBackend'
restart Firwalld service to apply change
$ sudo systemctl restart firewalld.service
Refresh the running Wordpress session in your browser and that's good.
good work.
In some cases a probable cause of this issue could be, you have made volumes using docker compose up and then when you did docker compose down you expected the volumes to be deleted as well as the docker images, but this is not how it works.
From the doc you could read this:
For data that needs to persist between updates, use host or named volumes.
It implicitly means that named volumes will not get deleted with down, so what happens is, when you do an up and then add a row to a table and then do a subsequent down, then on the next up you will get the same old volume and so querying the same table would give you the same row you created previously!
What does this have to do with the error Error establishing DB connection, you may ask. To answer your question, let's assume one scenario: What if you changed some MYSQL passwords in the docker compose file in between running the down command and the second up command?
MYSQL keeps its own data just like any other data in its tables, so when you do the second up, Docker loads the old volume (the one created by the first up) and thus the old credential information will be used by MYSQL and Docker will not even have the opportunity to insert your new information (the ones you changed in the docker compose file) in the administration tables. So obviously, you will be rejected.
The solution thus now would be very simple. To fix it, either do:
docker-compose down -v
to remove the named volumes as well as the images when running the down, or do:
docker volume rm [volname]
if you've done the down before, and now you want to delete the named volumes.
If you follow this tutorials ,https://stephenafamo.com/blog/moving-wordpress-docker-container/, your site wil not work properly. Coz It doesn't restore database and you need to restore manually .sql dump file existed in initdb.d dir by using this command.
cat backup.sql | docker exec -i CONTAINER /usr/bin/mysql -u root --password=root DATABASE
I also stuck in this and my CSS are not working properly.
Please let me know when you have new idea .

MySQL docker container

I am trying to setup a mysql server in a docker container and connect it with a phpmyadmin container.
phpmyadmin works just fine, but cannot connect to the DB. Examining the status of the DB container shows: "Restarting". I tried different images following their online demos but none worked.
Digging into docker logs, I found this error:
/entrypoint.sh: line 206: 67 Killed "$#" --daemonize --skip-networking --socket="$SOCKET"
Here is my docker-compose.yml file:
version: '3.3'
services:
mysql:
image: mysql/mysql-server
restart: always
environment:
MYSQL_DATABASE: myDb
MYSQL_USER: user
MYSQL_PASSWORD: test
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: test
ports:
- "3306:3306"
phpmyadmin:
image: phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin
links:
- mysql:db
ports:
- 8000:80
environment:
MYSQL_DATABASE: myDb
MYSQL_USER: user
MYSQL_PASSWORD: test
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: test
PMA_HOST: db
From the logged error, was thinking it's missing a SOCKET environment variable, added it to the docker-compose file, but didn't help. I tried with docker run, faced the same issue with an 'Exited' status of the container.
This is persistent regardless of the image I use for the container (mysql/mariadb).
Note: Docker is installed in a vagrant VM.
I can't get my hands on the issue causing the problem. Was thinking digging into the entrypoint.sh script and tweaking. Any ideas what might be the source of this issue??
I had to remove the old docker containers to get mariadb to work. However, mysql still hangs in the middle of the process of setting up the container.
Will work with maridadb and perhpas check mysql later.

Docker Compose mysql import .sql

I'm having trouble importing an .sql dump file with docker-compose. I've followed the docs, which apparently will load the .sql file from docker-entrypoint-initdb.d. However, when I run docker-compose up, the sql file is not copied over to the container.
I've tried stopping the containers with -vf flag, but that didn't work either. Am I doing something wrong in my .yml script?
I have dump.sql in the directory database/db-dump/ in the root where my compose file is.
frontend:
image: myimage
ports:
- "80:80"
links:
- mysql
mysql:
image: mysql
ports:
- "3306:3306"
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: rootpass
MYSQL_USER: dbuser
MYSQL_PASSWORD: userpass
MYSQL_DATABASE: myimage_db
volumes:
- ./database/db-dump:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d
This worked for me,
version: '3.1'
services:
db:
image: mysql
command: --default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password
restart: always
volumes:
- ./mysql-dump:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: example
MYSQL_DATABASE: ecommerce
adminer:
image: adminer
restart: always
ports:
- 8080:8080
mysql-dump must be a directory. All the .sql's in the directory will be imported.
After many attempts with the volumes setting i found a workaround
I created another image based on mysql with the following in the Dockerfile
FROM mysql:5.6
ADD dump.sql /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d
Then removed the volumes from compose and ran the new image
frontend:
image: myimage
ports:
- "80:80"
links:
- mysql
mysql:
image: mymysql
ports:
- "3306:3306"
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: rootpass
MYSQL_USER: dbuser
MYSQL_PASSWORD: userpass
MYSQL_DATABASE: myimage_db
This way the dump is always copied over and run on startup
This appears on the documentation page of Docker MySQL image: https://hub.docker.com/_/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.
Mysql database dump schema.sql is residing in the /mysql-dump/schema.sql directory and it creates tables during the initialization process.
docker-compose.yml:
mysql:
image: mysql:5.7
command: mysqld --user=root
volumes:
- ./mysql-dump:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d
environment:
MYSQL_DATABASE: ${MYSQL_DATABASE}
MYSQL_USER: ${MYSQL_USER}
MYSQL_PASSWORD: ${MYSQL_PASSWORD}
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: ${MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD}
I was having a similar issue with mysql where I would mount a local directory at /configs/mysql/data containing a mydatabasedump.sql file via docker-compose to the docker-entrypoint-initdb.d volume,
the file would get loaded on to the container but not execute or populate the database when the container initialized. My intial docker-compose.yml looke like this:
#docker-compose.yml
version: '3'
services:
db:
build: ./build/mysql/ #this is pointing to my Dockerfile
container_name: MYSQL_Database
restart: always
environment:
MYSQL_PORT: 3306
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: admin
MYSQL_DATABASE: my_app_database
MYSQL_USER: admin
MYSQL_PASSWORD: admin
volumes:
- ./configs/mysql/data:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d:
I found two working solutions for this problem:
The first came after I logged in the running container and confirmed that mydatabasedump.sq file was present and executable in the container's docker-entrypoint-initdb.d directory; I created and added
a bash script to my local /configs/mysql/data directory called dump.sh that excuted after the container was initialized. It contains a single mysql command that copies my_database_dump.sql to my_app_database.
The bash script looks like this
#!/bin/bash
#dump.sh
mysql -uadmin -padmin my_app_database < my_database_dump.sql
#end of dump.sh
I executed this script via my Dockerfile in the ENTRYPOINT directive like this:
#Dockerfile
FROM mysql:5.5
ENTRYPOINT [ "dump.sh" ]
EXPOSE 80
#end of Dockerfile
After realizing the initial issue was due to the volumes being mouted after the cotainer is built and therefore not intilizing the database with the dump file (or executing any scripts in that directory) at boot time, the second solution was simply to
move the volumes directive in my compose-file above the built directive. This worked and allowed me to remove the dump.sh scrip and the DOCKERENTRY directive in my Dockerfile.
The modified docker-compose.yml looks like this
#docker-compose.yml
version: '3'
services:
db:
volumes:
- ./configs/mysql/data:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d
build: ./build/mysql/ #this is pointing to my Dockerfile
container_name: MYSQL_Database
restart: always
environment:
MYSQL_PORT: 3306
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: admin
MYSQL_DATABASE: my_app_database
MYSQL_USER: admin
MYSQL_PASSWORD: admin
I also have this problem. I mount a local directory at ./mysql-dump containing a init.sql file via docker-compose to the docker-entrypoint-initdb.d volume, the file would get loaded on to the container but not execute or populate the database when the container initialized.
My intial docker-compose.yml looke like this:
mysqld:
image: mysql
container_name: mysqld
volumes:
- ./mysql/data:/var/lib/mysql
- ./mysql/my.cnf:/etc/my.cnf
- ./init:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d
env_file: .env
restart: always
environment:
- MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=123456
- MYSQL_DATABASE=fendou
command: --character-set-server=utf8mb4 --collation-server=utf8mb4_unicode_ci
--default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password
but it doesn't work for me.
I found another working solutions for this problem:
add --init-file /data/application/init.sql to mysql command.change above configuration like
mysqld:
image: mysql
container_name: mysqld
volumes:
- ./mysql/data:/var/lib/mysql
- ./mysql/my.cnf:/etc/my.cnf
# - ./init:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d
env_file: .env
restart: always
environment:
- MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=123456
- MYSQL_DATABASE=fendou
command: --character-set-server=utf8mb4 --collation-server=utf8mb4_unicode_ci
--default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password
--init-file /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/init.sql #attention here
hope it help for you
I wanted to keep the original setup of the container, so I tried a restore on the already running container. This seemed to work:
cat dump.sql | docker-compose exec -T db mysql -h localhost -u root -psomewordpress -v
But it was very slow and the verbose output seemed to be buffered, so I tried:
docker-compose cp dump.sql db:/tmp/
docker-compose exec db sh -c "mysql -h localhost -u root -psomewordpress -v < /tmp/dump.sql"
Which at least provided faster feedback.
Might be useful for someone? Looks like it was mainly slow because I used --skip-extended-insert on the dump, without the extended inserts it went faster 🙂
