docker_ubuntu12.04_mysql5.5

This image uses

• ubuntu 12.04
• mysql client 5.5

by default it will try to connect to

• a host db
• database my_database

using credentials

• user dbuser
• pw password

This corresponds to the settings from my other project docker_ubuntu12.04_mysql5.5

Running the container

This enables you to run this container as follows:

sudo docker run -i --link <another_container>:db --name <container_name> -t <name_of_this_image>:<tag>

where <another_container> should be running a mysql instance.

I you want to connect to a mysql server with different parameters just run it like so:

sudo docker run -i --name <container_name> -t <name_of_this_image>:<tag> -u <username> --password=<password> -h <mysql_host> <db_name>

or (if you want to connect to another container running a mysql server)

sudo docker run -i --link <another_container>:<link_name> --name <container_name> -t <name_of_this_image>:<tag> -u <username> --password=<password> -h <link_name> <db_name>
