MySQL Docker Container

docker run -d -p 3306:3306 -v /data/mysql:/var/lib/mysql mysql

startup.sh

#/bin/bash

if [ ! -f /var/lib/mysql/ibdata1 ]; then

	mysql_install_db

	/usr/bin/mysqld_safe &
	sleep 10s

	echo "GRANT ALL ON *.* TO admin@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'changeme' WITH GRANT OPTION; FLUSH PRIVILEGES" | mysql

	killall mysqld
	sleep 10s
fi

/usr/bin/mysqld_safe

Does this actually work? I'm having issues with mysql_install_db which drops the privileges to the mysql user and is therefore not able to create certain files and directories in /var/lib/mysql/ (when running something similar to your startup.sh)

I am getting access denied for user admit though using the password 'changeme' ?

@benschw assuming I wanted to change the bind address to 0.0.0.0 in the mysql docker file itself, could I possibly add RUN sed -i -e"s/^bind-address\s*=\s*127.0.0.1/bind-address = 0.0.0.0/" /etc/mysql/my.cnf to https://github.com/mysql/mysql-docker/blob/mysql-server/5.5/Dockerfile#L11 ? Would that work?

I have error on container build:

build command
docker build -t mysql:c_mysql .
output
Sending build context to Docker daemon 4.096kB Step 1/10 : FROM ubuntu ---> 0458a4468cbc Step 2/10 : RUN dpkg-divert --local --rename --add /sbin/initctl ---> Using cache ---> 1f00c319dccb Step 3/10 : RUN ln -s /bin/true /sbin/initctl ---> Running in 322de55db062 ln: failed to create symbolic link '/sbin/initctl': File exists The command '/bin/sh -c ln -s /bin/true /sbin/initctl' returned a non-zero code: 1

Is this part in Dockerfile with error?
RUN dpkg-divert --local --rename --add /sbin/initctl RUN ln -s /bin/true /sbin/initctl

thx
