bennetimo/ghost-wait-mysql repository overview

⁠ghost-wait-mysql

ghost-wait-mysql is a small modification to the official Ghost⁠ Docker image⁠ which waits for a mysql container to be up and running before continuing with the original entrypoint.

This avoids problems⁠ when using Ghost with Docker Compose, where the Ghost container will error exit if it cannot reach mysql. See this issue⁠ for more info.

⁠Quick Start

Just use the bennetimo/ghost-wait-mysql image⁠ in place of ghost

The version number of 'bennetimo/ghost-wait-mysql' matches the version of ghost

These are the current published tags:

• 3.1 => for ghost 3.1
• 2.37 => for ghost 2.37
• 2.31 => for ghost 2.31
• 2.2 => for ghost 2.2
• 1.25 => for ghost 1.x
• 0.7.3 => for ghost 0.x

⁠Configuration

By default the script will try to reach mysql every 2 seconds for 20 seconds. You can set environment variables to tweak this:

ENV MYSQL_HOST=mysql

ENV MYSQL_PORT=3306

ENV WAIT_LOOPS=10

ENV WAIT_SLEEP=2
