qoopido/alpine-mariadb repository overview

⁠recommended directory structure

Like with my other containers I encourage you to follow a unified directory structure approach to keep things simple & maintainable, e.g.:

project root
  - docker_compose.yaml
  - config
    - mariadb
      - ...
  -data 
    - mariadb

⁠Example docker-compose.yaml

db:
  image: qoopido/alpine-mariadb:latest
  ports:
   - "3306:3306"
  volumes:
   - ./config/mariadb:/app/config
   - ./data/mariadb:/app/data

⁠Or start container manually

docker run -d -P -t -i -p 3306:3306 \
	-v [local path to config]:/app/config \
	-v [local path to data]:/app/data \
	--name db qoopido/alpine-mariadb:latest

⁠Credentials

root password is generated on first boot and will be shown in docker logs. From within the container root does not require a password.

If you specifiy environment variables for MARIADB_DATABASE, MARIADB_USER and MARIADB_PASSWORD the database and user will also get generated.

⁠Storage

This container will auto-create basic databases in /app/data/database on first execution.

⁠Configuration

Any config files under /app/config will be read in addition to the default database config. This can be used to overwrite the container's default maria configuration with a custom, project specific configuration.
