darkside/mysql repository overview

Built from darkside/centos66

Build container using default values.

docker build -t darkside/mysql .

Running the container

The container is built to allow several configurable variables to be passed in at runtime. The default values are as follows:

ENV MYSQL_PASS P@ssword
ENV MYSQL_DB applicaton
ENV MYSQL_CLIENTADDR %
ENV APP_USER dbuser
ENV APP_PASS dbpass

• MYSQL_CLIENTADDR - This is the Host server that runs the MySQL instance where the Application DB will be stored.
• MYSQL_PASS - This will set the MySQL Root Password.
• MYSQL_DB - The name of the MySQL DB that the Application will use.
• APP_USER - The username that the Application will use in order to connect to the MySQL DB.
• APP_PASS - The password of the user that the Application uses to connect to the MySQL DB.

Run the container using default values

docker run -d -it --name mysql -h mysql -p 3306:3306 darkside/mysql

This will assume the following

• MYSQL_CLIENTADDR = 172.17.42.% (All Docker Hosts)
• MYSQL_PASS = P@ssword
• MYSQL_DB = applicaton
• APP_USER = dbuser
• APP_PASS = dbpass

Run the container substituting the $varables with your own custom values

docker run -d -it \
--name mysql \
-h mysql \
-p 3306:3306 \
-e MYSQL_CLIENTADDR='%' \
-e MYSQL_PASS='P@ssword' \
-e MYSQL_DB='myapplication' \
-e APP_USER='dbuser' \
-e APP_PASS='dbpass' \
