ioggstream/mysql-community repository overview

⁠MySQL 5.7 with replica support

Image based on centos 7 and mysql rpms from oracle community repository. Prepare a testing environment with:

# make setup

The image uses mysql-utilites to setup replication, thus requiring MySQL 5.7 in 5.6 compatibility mode. The server-id is set in the entrypoint using the last octect of the first configured ip: check docker-entrypoint.sh for further details.

To run one or more mysql images, specify a scale number:

# docker-compose scale master=1 slave=3

The provided my.cnf uses:

• one innodb undo tablespace;
• 5.6 compatibility mode;
• explicit defaults for timestamp;
• disable load data infile outside the secure directory.

⁠Environment Variables

Enjoy your replicated environment with the following variables:

 MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD
 MYSQL_REPLICA_USER: create the given user on the intended master host
 MYSQL_REPLICA_PASS
 MYSQL_BACKUP_USER: backup user
 MYSQL_MASTER_SERVER: change master on this location on the intended slave
 MYSQL_MASTER_PORT: optional, by default 3306
 MYSQL_MASTER_ROOT_PASS: the root password for the master server
 MYSQL_MASTER_WAIT_TIME: seconds to wait for the master to come up, default 3seconds
 MYSQL_SETUP_WAIT_TIME: seconds to wait for the current instance to start after setup (default 60seconds)

⁠Volumes

The image provides the following volumes:

• /var/lib/mysql: data directory

• /var/lib/mysql-files: the secure file directory⁠

• /backup: backup directory
