MySQL is the world's most popular open source database. With its proven performance, reliability and ease-of-use, MySQL has become the leading database choice for web-based applications, covering the entire range from personal projects and websites, via e-commerce and information services, all the way to high profile web properties including ***, ***, ***, ***! and many more.

Usage

docker create \
--name=mysql \
-p 3306:3306 \
-e PUID=<UID> \
-e PGID=<GID> \
-e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=<DATABASE PASSWORD> \
-v </path/to/appdata>:/config \
linuxserver/mysql

Parameters

The parameters are split into two halves, separated by a colon, the left hand side representing the host and the right the container side. For example with a port -p external:internal - what this shows is the port mapping from internal to external of the container. So -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 http://192.168.x.x:8080 would show you what's running INSIDE the container on port 80.

• -p 3306 - mysql port
• -v /config - Contains the db itself and all assorted settings.
• -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD - set this to root password for installation (minimum 4 characters)
• -e PGID for GroupID - see below for explanation
• -e PUID for UserID - see below for explanation

It is based on phusion-baseimage with ssh removed, for shell access whilst the container is running do docker exec -it mysql /bin/bash.

User / Group Identifiers

Sometimes when using data volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container. We avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID. Ensure the data volume directory on the host is owned by the same user you specify and it will "just work" ™.

In this instance PUID=1001 and PGID=1001. To find yours use id user as below:

  $ id <dockeruser>
    uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)

Setting up the application

If you didn't set a password during installation, (see logs for warning) use mysqladmin -u root password to set one at the docker prompt... NOTE changing the MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD variable after the container has set up the initial databases has no effect. It is also advisable to edit the run command or template/webui after setup and remove reference to this variable.

Find custom.cnf in /config for config changes (restart container for them to take effect) , the databases in /config/databases and the log in /config/log/myqsl.

The container also has mysqltuner included which can either be run from within the container by exec'ing in or externally by issuing docker exec -it mysql mysqltuner. It will prompt for credentials if you have set a password for root user.

Info

• Shell access whilst the container is running: docker exec -it mysql /bin/bash

• To monitor the logs of the container in realtime: docker logs -f mysql

• container version number

docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' mysql

• image version number

docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/mysql

Versions

• 14.10.16: Add version layer information.
