php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed error in Docker's adminer - mysql

Question

I have problem with access to adminer in my docker container with laravel 5/mysql app. I got error :
SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name does not resolve
My docker-compose.yml :
version: '3'
services:
votes_app:
build:
context: ./web
dockerfile: Dockerfile.yml
container_name: votes_app_container
environment:
- APACHE_RUN_USER=#1000
volumes:

ports:

working_dir: ${APP_PTH_CONTAINER}
votes_db:
image: mysql:5.6.41
container_name: votes_db_container
restart: always
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: 1
volumes:
- ${DB_PATH_HOST}:/var/lib/mysql
votes_adminer:
image: adminer
container_name: votes_adminer_container
restart: always
ports:
- 8082:8080
links:
- votes_db
votes_composer:
image: composer:1.6
container_name: votes_composer_container
volumes:
- ${APP_PATH_HOST}:${APP_PTH_CONTAINER}
working_dir: ${APP_PTH_CONTAINER}
command: composer install --ignore-platform-reqs
I got different ports for app and db container.
Here https://hub.docker.com/_/adminer/ I found:
Usage with external server You can specify the default host with the
ADMINER_DEFAULT_SERVER environment variable. This is useful if you are
connecting to an external server or a docker container named something
other than the default db.
docker run -p 8080:8080 -e ADMINER_DEFAULT_SERVER=mysql adminer
In console of my app I run command
$ docker run -p 8089:8080 -e ADMINER_DEFAULT_SERVER=votes_db adminer
with unused in my apps port and this command was not succesfull anyway, as I got the same error trying to log to adminer https://imgur.com/a/4HCdC1W.
Which is the right way ?

I rebuilded the app but I failed to login into adminer : https://imgur.com/a/JWVGfBA
I run in console of my OS pointing to other unused 8089 port:
$ docker run -p 8089:8080 -e ADMINER_DEFAULT_SERVER=db adminer
PHP 7.2.11 Development Server started at Thu Nov 1 07:00:46 2018

But again error logining to adminer to 8089 port, but the error message was different :

I suppose yes, as after I rebuilded the container I entered into the box and see “root” in console output:

But anyway after rebuilding of the project and connecting to adminer with

P.S.:
I have other laravel 5.0/php:5.6 / image: composer:1.6 / mcrypt installed docker project on the same local
server of my laptop, which works ok for me and I can enter adminer and can login to db from this app.

Answer 1

I was having the same issue, then I find that the default value in Adminer application for server address is 'db', which doesn't match with the service name for my MySQL container.

Answer 2

Try with phpMyAdmin :)
version: '3.2'
services:
db:
image: mysql:5.7
restart: always
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: myUserPass
MYSQL_DATABASE: mydb
MYSQL_USER: myUser
MYSQL_PASSWORD: myUser
phpmyadmin:
depends_on:
- db
image: phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin
restart: always
ports:
- 8088:80
environment:
PMA_HOST: db
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: myUserPass

Answer 3

You can see about it in
https://hub.docker.com/_/adminer/
Example
version: '3.1'
services:
adminer:
image: adminer
restart: always
ports:
- 8080:8080
db:
image: mysql:5.6
restart: always
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: example

Answer 4

The problem with your setup is because of the environment variable DB_PATH_HOST. You have setup everything fine in your compose file. but before running docker-compose you are supposed to define the environment variable DB_PATH_HOST. Since the environment variable is not defined it throws an error. See this for more details on Environment variables and it's precedence in Docker.
So what you should have done is, Before starting docker container you should have defined the environment variable either by defining it in compose file or exporting it in shell as shell variable before running docker-compose or should have used env file or by using ENV instrction in dockerfile. (These are all the possible ways of defining environment variables and I've listed all of them the method that comes first takes priority. refer this for more info).
So the proper docker-compose.yml file should be as follows.
version: '3.2'
services:
db:
image: mysql:5.6.41
restart: always
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: 1
DB_PATH_HOST: /tmp/mysql #this is the host location where mysql data will be stored.
volumes:
- ${DB_PATH_HOST}:/var/lib/mysql
phpmyadmin:
depends_on:
- db
image: phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin
restart: always
ports:
- 8082:80
environment:
PMA_HOST: db
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: 1
Now coming to the next point I see that from your discussions you have concluded that removing volumes from the db container fixed your problem. But actually not. How?
First let me explain why volume is used here. The data generated my mysql should be stored somewhere. Docker by default runs containers in non-persistant mode, which means all the data generated by the running docker conatiner will be erased when that container is brought down/killed. So in order to persist(store/save) data we use volumes. There are different types of volumes used in docker. I encourage you to read Storage documentation of docker for more details. The type of volume used here is a bind mount which is, You bind a host directory to a docker directory and docker stores all the data directly in host machine such that even if docker container is brought down data is still preserved.
Hence if you don't use volumes in mysql all the db changes irrespective of whatever you do, will be lost whenever the container is stopped.
Bonus Poits:
By default MySQL container doesn't allow remote connections. So if you want to access mysql from anywhere else apart from phpmyadmin. You have to allow remote connections.
Since we are preserving the data here the root password will be set only on the first time whenever you start mysqll container. From next time onwards root password environment variable will be ignored.
If you log into docker containers using docker exec mostly you can see that you will be root. That's because whenever you create a docker container with Dockerfile by using either docker build or docker-compose build unless you specify an instruction on Dockerfile to create and use a new user docker will run everything as root user.
Now whenever you run the above compose file. You can see that the mysql data location's ownership will be changed. It's because whenever you mount a host directory to docker, Docker changes the file permission according to the user and group as per that container's Dockerile definition. Here mysql has defined a user and group called mysql and the uid and gid is 999. hence /tmp/mysql will be havng 999:999 as ownership. If these id's are mapped with any other user account in your system you will see those names instead of ids whenever you do ls -al in host machine. If id's are not mapped then you will see the id's directly.
I've used /tmp/mysql as mysql data directory for an example. Pleae don't use the same as the data in /tmp will be removed whenever there is a system restart.

Answer 5

The question has already been answered, but adding my solution to a similar problem here for reference.
Adding a 'links' parameter to my docker-compose phpmyadmin/adminer service block solved it for me, based on the assumption that the service name of the database block is in fact db as used in examples in answered above too. This link makes it possible to then in the phpmyadmin login interface use 'db' as the host and it will connect.
links:
- db:db

Answer 6

change the container name to db for mysql image made the difference for me
You can see about it in https://hub.docker.com/_/adminer/
services:
db:
image: mysql:5.6
