#docker-ubuntu-mysql Dedicated mysql container, intended for exposure to another container.

About

This mysql container is based on ubuntu:trusty, and has the following in addition:

• mysql-server
• Listens on 0.0.0.0 instead of the default 127.0.0.1
• Port 3306 is exposed, in case you are not linking containers
• Allows for a root password to be set when run for the first time

Example

Running

Simple, not exposed:

docker run -d --name="mysql-run" \
    -e "MYSQL_PASSWORD=password" \
    vasansr/ubuntu-mysql

Exposed:

docker run -d --name="mysql-run" \
    -e "MYSQL_PASSWORD=password" \
    -p 3306:3306 \
    vasansr/ubuntu-mysql

Explanation:

• -d : Run daemonized
• --name : The name of the container
• -e MYSQL_PASSWORD : To set the root password for connecting from other containers/hosts. Change password to the password that you want to set. Use a strong password if you are exposing the container using -p
• -p : expose port 3306 as port 3306 on the host
• vasansr/ubuntu-mysql : The name of the repository
