how to extend docker mysql image - mysql

I pull the mysql/mysql-server image, then I execute the following commands below:
docker run --name myapp -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=my-secret-pw -d mysql/mysql-server
docker exec -it myapp bash
After this, I install jdk and tomcat in the newly created myapp container, then I exit the shell and run:
docker commit myapp myappwithjdk
Then I run the following, but the container exits immediately:
docker run -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=my-secret-pw -d myappwithjdk
I don't know why it does this.

It could be leftovers from running mysql (like pid file). It is bad approach to use exec & commit for creating own container based on different one. Much better to create own image via Dockerfile:
FROM mysql/mysql-server
RUN <your commands here>
and then
docker build -t myappwithjdk .

The mysql image have the way to execute init scripts (both bash and sql) once on container creation. Simply put them to /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/ folder:
FROM mysql:latest
ENV MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root
COPY 00-extra_env_setup.sh /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/00-extra_env_setup.sh
COPY 01-user_setup.sql /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/01-user_setup.sql
build:
docker build -t mymysql .
and run(note port exposing):
docker run -p 3306:3306 mymysql
now you able connect to it outside(change the ip to the ip of your docker server):
mysql --host 127.0.0.1 --port 3306 --user root --password
That's it!

I am unable to find all the files from my docker container volume

inside the volume of the docker container
I have been trying to export all my data from my local database to my docker container.
I created a volume "mydb" and I copy pasted the whole directory for the database "BookLook" from my local mysql server to the docker volume directory.
I am running my docker container with this command in manjaro linux:
docker run --name mysql-container -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password -v mydb:/var/lib/mysql -p 3306:3306 -d mysql:latest
still I am not being able to get the database when I am opening the mysql in the docker container
I am executing the docker container with the following command:
docker exec -it mysql-container bash

how two link two docker containers, and how to use the mysql client on a mysql docker container

I'd like to test webtrees PHP docker. They suggest connecting to a mysql docker using --link mysql:db, as follows:
docker run -d -p 80:80 --name webtrees --link mysql:db -v /webtrees/data:/var/www/html/data -v /webtrees/media:/var/www/html/media -e DISABLE_SSL=TRUE -e PORT=80 --restart always dtjs48jkt/webtrees
Their README says:
The image does not contain a MySQL database. Instead you have to use a separate MySQL instance. For example you could use the
MySQL Docker Image. Using the --link parameter a direct connection to
the database in an other container could be established. If you use
the --link parameter it is sufficient to set as database hostname db
and port 3306. The database user must have all access rights to
create the necessary database and tables.
However the webtrees container cannot access the mysql server. How I correctly link these two docker containers?
I tried using the official mysql docker image as follows:
docker run --name some-mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=my-secret-pw -e MYSQL_DATABASE=webtrees -e MYSQL_USER=my_user -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=my_pwd -d mysql:5.5
but then I don't know how to link webtrees docker container with the mysql container.
Also, how can I use the mysql client? the documentation gives this example, but I don't understand what are the correct parameters for netowrk and -h:
$ docker run -it --network some-network --rm mysql mysql -hsome-mysql -uexample-user -p
Regarding your first question, the --link option for docker run is deprecated according to the documentation, so I wouldn't recommend using it.
With the amount of configuration required, I'd recommend setting up a docker-compose.yml instead. I set up the configuration you require like this:
version: '3.0'
services:
webtrees:
image: dtjs48jkt/webtrees
restart: always
ports:
- 80:80
environment:
- DISABLE_SSL=TRUE
- PORT=80
volumes:
- /webtrees/data:/var/www/html/data
- /webtrees/media:/var/www/html/media
networks:
- my-network
mysql:
image: mysql:5.5
environment:
- MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=my-secret-pw
- MYSQL_DATABASE=webtrees
- MYSQL_USER=my_user
- MYSQL_PASSWORD=my_pwd
networks:
- my-network
networks:
my-network:
To run the containers, use:
docker-compose up --detach
What this will do is spin up a mysql container and a webtrees container according to the configuration you specified in your question with a network called my-network.
In the web interface of web trees on http://localhost/ you can make it connect to the mysql container with the following configuration, so it will connect to it through the docker network:
Since the service name in the docker-compose.yml is mysql, the required hostname is mysql.
Basically you need to have all the containers (mysql DB server, mysql client and application) in the same Docker network. By default they are not. Alternatively, --link can be used to link them (as shown in webtrees run example), but it's considred as legacy feature and network should be used instead of that.
So what you need to do:
Create custom Docker network:
docker network create user-network
Run mysql server in that network. Name should be db, because webtrees relies on that hostname for DB:
docker run --name db --network user-network -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=my-secret-pw -e MYSQL_DATABASE=webtrees -e MYSQL_USER=my_user -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=my_pwd -d mysql:5.5
Run mysql client in the same network:
docker run -it --network user-network --rm mysql mysql -hdb -umy_user -p
Finally you can run an app in the same network:
docker run -d -p 80:80 --name webtrees --network user-network -v /webtrees/data:/var/www/html/data -v /webtrees/media:/var/www/html/media -e DISABLE_SSL=TRUE -e PORT=80 --restart always dtjs48jkt/webtrees
After that web app should be accessible from your browser under http://localhost/

How to connect with MySQL Docker image from host?

I am Running a MySQL Docker image and creating database and table. The container is lauched with the command:
docker run --network host -p 3306:3306 --name mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root -d mysql/mysql-server
Spark is running on my host machine, So i want to write data from Spark into the database running in the container.
But the connection does not succeed and I am getting an Exception:
com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure
You can try this 2 solutions:
Check if your connection URL is not wrong in your java file.
Check if your container accept connections that is not localhost of the container:
Go to your cmd and enter in the container:
docker exec -it containerID /bin/bash
install vim inside container apt install vim
vim /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf
comment bind-adress or make it listen to 0.0.0.0
exit from container
restart
Hope this help.
As Schwarz54 mentioned in his answer, it could be host issue.
I usually pass it at the time of initialising the container using the MYSQL_HOST parameter.
docker run --name mysql_5.7 -d -p 3306:3306 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root1234 -e MYSQL_HOST=localhost mysql:5.7
I think you don't have to map the ports if you are running it on the host network.
docker run --name mysql_5.7 -d --network host -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root1234 -e MYSQL_HOST=localhost mysql:5.7
You can mount a local directory to the local container if you want the data to be persisted across container restarts using -v flag:
mkdir -p /Users/projects/data/mysql5.7
And mount this directory in the container at /var/lib/mysql
docker run --name mysql_5.7 -d --rm -p 3306:3306 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root1234 -e MYSQL_HOST=localhost -v /Users/projects/data/mysql5.7:/var/lib/mysql mysql:5.7

Mysql docker container exited after start, option `-d` has no effect

I have problem with mysql-server container.
Post mysql with Exited(1) from docker has no solution for me included.
Here my workflow on windows 10.
0. Docker version:
Docker version 17.12.0-ce, build c97c6d6
1. My Dockerfile:
FROM mysql/mysql-server
ENV MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD root
ENV MYSQL_DATABASE blockchain
ENV MYSQL_USER block
ENV MYSQL_PASSWORD blockchain
COPY create_schema.sql /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/create_schema.sql
EXPOSE 3306
Build command:
docker build -t mysqlserver .
Run command (option -d is used):
docker run -ti -p 3306:3306 --name mysqlserver1 -v C:/Users/user/sandbox/mysql:/var/lib/mysql -d --net testnetwork mysqlserver --innodb_use_native_aio=0
But result after start is: Exited (1) 11 minutes ago, declared path folder for database is initialized.
Where is my error ?
Thx for help
For mysql docker container, you need to specify the following parameters in your Dockerfile;
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD
Initial Database to be created
Expose Port from the docker container to the host machine
For instance if you're creating the running mysql docker image using terminal, it could be: sudo docker run -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=dev --name testdb -p 3800:3600 -d mysql:8.0.17

Docker containers run async

I need to develop docker in my application, i create docker image with maven-docker-plugin. After that I run sh script whit is here.
docker run --name app-mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root -e MYSQL_DATABASE=app -d mysql
docker run --name app -p --link app-mysql:localhost -d app
docker run --name app-nginx -d -p 80:80 --link app:app nginx
docker exec app-nginx rm -rf /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
docker cp app:/default.conf default.conf
docker cp default.conf app-nginx:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
docker restart app-nginx
But i have a problem. First mysql container runns good. Second, app container runns good. But nginx container throws error :
docker: Error response from daemon: Cannot link to a non running container: /app AS /app-nginx/app.
If i run this scrip with command
sleep 120
between the containers it setups normally, as i understand nginx container runs before app container finishes. Is there any way to run containers without sleep command as it is hardcoded. How can i figure if container finished successfully. Can you help me with solution?
I would prefer to use something like docker-compose for this. But you can still manage with your code. The key is not to start the container but create it first and then start it
docker run --name app-mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root -e MYSQL_DATABASE=app -d mysql
docker run --name app -p --link app-mysql:localhost -d app
docker create --name app-nginx -d -p 80:80 --link app:app nginx
docker cp app:/default.conf app-nginx:etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
docker start app-nginx
Also the --link is deprecated and should not be used. You should be using docker network create to create a network and then assign that network to your containers using --net. docker-compose does a lot of these things automatically for you and that's why it makes more sense to use that instead
