Base image to run 5.6 MySQL database

Thanks to tumtumcloud!

This stuff is based on excellent https://github.com/tutumcloud/tutum-docker-mysql image.

Features

At start time the image creates a MySQL database and a user for it. The database name and user credentials are passed in as envirnment variables as shown below.

It can also create a second database, usually for tests which is sometimes handly if you need to run tests. Use MYSQL_DB_TEST envirnonment variable to give the test database a name.

Environment variables

• MYSQL_USER: Set a specific username for the admin account (default 'admin').
• MYSQL_PASS: Set a specific password for the admin account.
• MYSQL_DB: Database name
• MYSQL_DB_TEST: Test database name
• STARTUP_SQL: Defines one or more SQL scripts separated by spaces to initialize the database. Note that the scripts must be inside the container, so you may need to mount them.

Build image

docker build -t yourid/mysql:latest .

Run it

Create data container:

docker create -v /var/lib/mysql --name mysql_data ubuntu:14.04

Run the MySQL container:

docker run -d \ --volumes-from mysql_data \ -p 3306:3306 \ -e "MYSQL_USER=auser" \ -e "MYSQL_PASS=apass" \ -e "MYSQL_DB=myappdb" \ yourid/mysql:latest
