This post is a personal note for building mysql container using Docker.

Update Docker daemon

In my case, the version of docker was old, so I downloaded docker for Mac from the official website and updated docker daemon.

Check docker version.

Edit Dockerfile

Create a simple Dockerfile as follows and place it at the project root.

I use offical mysql image in this time.

1FROM mysql
2MAINTAINER soudegesu

4RUN echo "finished setup !!"

Build docker image

I ran the command at project root where the Dockerfile was located, docker should recognize Dockerfile.

 1docker rmi soudegesu/mysql:0.0.1

Start docker container

Start container with docker run command. The following CLI options are often used for operating inside the container after the container startup.

  • -i :Keep STDIN open even if not attached
  • -t :Allocate a pseudo-TTY
1docker run -it soudegesu/mysql:0.0.1 /bin/bash

I can see that the official mysql docker image is running on Moby Linux.

1root@0e512378b63d:/# cat /proc/version

Check whether the mysql command can be used. An error occurred.

1root@08671cc122c7:/# mysql
2
3ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

mysql is not running. I added the following CLI option and started it again.

1docker run --name soudegesu -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=soudegesu -d soudegesu/mysql:0.0.1
