mini/mysql repository overview

⁠mini/mysql

MySQL⁠ Community Server container.

⁠Usage

To run this container and bind port 3306:

docker run -d -p 3306:3306 mini/mysql

You can now check the logs:

docker logs <CONTAINER_ID>

⁠Credentials

Credentials to access the MySQL service are displayed in the container logs for admin user.

root level access to this container is limited to local sessions, which is not available over the TCP interface.

⁠Setting a custom password

By default this container will generate a random password for admin user. You can specify a fixed one by using MYSQL_PASS environment variable:

docker run -d -p 3306:3306 -e MYSQL_PASS=mystrongpassword mini/mysql

This will only be set the first time the data volume is initialized.

⁠Data and volumes

This container exposes /data as bind mount volume. You can mount it when starting the container:

docker run -v /mydata/mysql:/data -d -p 3306:3306 mini/mysql

We recommend you mount the volume to avoid loosing data between updates to this container.
