A difference: this MySQL image processes SQL files via the volume for and after initialization.
2.6K
This layer can be used to build a MySQL image, but also to add a database to our WildFly image. One difference to the official MySQL image is the ability to process sql files via the SQL mount even after initialization.
| Category | Varaible | Available values or scheme | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| Security | MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD | <STRING> | root |
| Logging | MYSQL_GENERAL_LOG | 0, 1 | 0 |
| Logging | MYSQL_SLOW_QUERY_LOG | 0, 1 | 0 |
| Optimizing | MYSQL_OPTS | <STRING> | - |
| Updating | MYSQL_UPDATE_SCANNER_ENABLED | true | false | false |
| Updating | MYSQL_UPDATE_SCANNER_INTERVAL | <NUMBER> | 30 |
The variable MYSQL_OPTS in particular is comparable to JAVA_OPTS,
where additional parameters can be specified that are to be taken into account when MySQL is started.
For example, the memory requirement can simply be specified with: MYSQL_OPTS=--innodb_buffer_pool_size=10G.
| Path | ref. ENV-Variable | Type (Permission) | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| /entrypoint-mysql-sqls | ENTRY_MYSQL_SQLS | directory (r) | All SQL-files that are to be executed at the first start for database preparation are placed here. |
| /entrypoint-mysql-update-sqls | ENTRY_MYSQL_UPDATE_SQLS | directory (r/w) | Is only required if MYSQL_UPDATE_SCANNER_ENABLED=true, then all SQL-files that are stored here are imported during operation. |
| /entrypoint-mysql-data | ENTRY_MYSQL_DATADIR | directory (r/w) | This directory can be mounted in an external volume so that data is not lost after delete container. |
| /entrypoint-mysql-my-cnf | ENTRY_MYSQL_MY_CNF | file (r) | The my.cnf file contains all settings that are relevant for the operation of the MySQL-database and can be exchanged accordingly. |
| /entrypoint-mysql-socket | ENTRY_MYSQL_SOCKET | directory (r/w) | The MySQL-socket is only relevant for accessing the database if no port is available. |
| /entrypoint-mysql-logs | ENTRY_MYSQL_LOGS | Symlink (r/w) | All logs generated by the MySQL service are stored here. |

If data is stored on the host-system (via volume), it is created by default with the internal mosaic-user (UID:GID = 1111:1111). Accordingly, the writable directories on the host-system must be unlocked for the mosaic-user.
# at host-system
chown -R 1111:1111 db-data logs
You can change the write-user by using the Docker parameter --user/-u.
# change write-user (UID:GID) for writable volumes
> mkdir /path/to/your/db-data
> chown 1006:1001 /path/to/your/db-data
> docker run --rm -d -u 1006:1001 -v /path/to/your/db-data:/entrypoint-mysql-data mosaicgreifswald/mysql
