Forked from nimmis/alpine-mariadb

⁠What is MariaDB?

MariaDB is a community-developed fork of the MySQL relational database management system intended to remain free under the GNU GPL.

Container based on nimmis/alpine-micro, a minimal os (8.5 Mb) with working init process and syslog. For more information on how to set up services, please read the documentation for nimmis/alpine-micro⁠. This container is about half the size of the official mariadb docker container.

⁠Starting the container

To run the latest stable version of this docker image run

docker run -d -e MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD=yes jaskipper/alpine-mariadb

to expose the database to the external interface run

docker run -d -p 3306:3306 -e MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD=yes jaskipper/alpine-mariadb
