MySQL

An example of seeding MySQL databases in Docker Compose with volumes.

All SQL files in seed-data are loaded on boot. To customize with your data, just delete ./seed-data/create-table.sql and add your own .sql files.

Gotchas

The database is only initialized the very first time it boots. So if you change your seed data, you need to force the container to restart by running blimp down followed by blimp up.

Example Blimp Usage

1. Run blimp up and wait for the container to start.

2. Connect to the database by running blimp ssh mysql, then mysql example.

3. Run SELECT * FROM users;. You should see:

   +----+------+-------+
   | id | name | email |
   +----+------+-------+
   |  1 | name | email |
   +----+------+-------+
