klsmith/mysql-sync repository overview

⁠klsmith/mysql-sync

A Docker utility that wraps MySQL command line tools to perform a one-way sync from one database to another.

Since the source database may be in another Docker container that is still in the process of coming up, this utility automatically waits on the source database to become accessible before continuing.

⁠Usage

There are several ways to run klsmith/mysql-sync.

Stand-alone:

docker run -e SRC_HOST=sourcehost.example.com \
    -e SRC_NAME=source_db_name \
    -e SRC_PASS=source_db_pass \
    -e SRC_USER=source_db_user \
    -e DEST_HOST=destinationhost.example.com \
    -e DEST_NAME=destination_db_name \
    -e DEST_PASS=destination_db_pass \
    -e DEST_USER=destination_db_user \
    klsmith/mysql-sync

Docker Compose:

version: '2'

services:
  mysql-sync:
    image: 'klsmith/mysql-sync:latest'
    environment:
      - SRC_HOST=sourcehost.example.com
      - SRC_NAME=source_db_name
      - SRC_PASS=source_db_pass
      - SRC_USER=source_db_user
      - DEST_HOST=destinationhost.example.com
      - DEST_NAME=destination_db_name
      - DEST_PASS=destination_db_pass
      - DEST_USER=destination_db_user

The important bits are the environment variables, all of which are required.

The container will exit with code 0 when the sync finishes.
