MariaDB on Docker

Docker index page: https://index.docker.io/u/gchiam/mariadb/⁠

Includes a bunch of cool features such as:

• Exporting volumes so your data persists.
• Not running as root.
• Printing log output.
• Setting a root password.
• Creating a user and database.
• Passing extra parameters to mysqld.

Here's how it works:

⁠Build

$ sudo docker build -t musashi/mariadb .

⁠Run

$ sudo docker run -d -v /var/lib/mysql:/var/lib/mariadb:rw -name mariadb \
-e MYSQL_DATABASE=dashboard_prod -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=ki9eingi musashi/mariadb

⁠Connect

$ mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u root -p
Enter password:

⁠Environment variables

• MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: The password for the root user, set every time the server starts. Defaults to a blank password, which is handy for development, but you should set this to something in production.
• MYSQL_DATABASE: A database to automatically create if it doesn't exist. If not provided, does not create a database.
• MYSQL_USER: A user to create that has access to the database specified by MYSQL_DATABASE.
• MYSQL_PASSWORD: The password for MYSQL_USER. Defaults to a blank password.
• MYSQLD_ARGS: extra parameters to pass to the mysqld process
