Running MySQL Server in Docker

no theory

Check docker if installed

docker version

Download MySQL server image

docker pull mysql/mysql-server

Run MySQL Server container

docker run --name='sql_container' -d -p 3306:3306 mysql/mysql-server

Check Logs and copy root password generated by MySQL Server

docker logs sql_container


Go in bash and update the root password to simple password

docker exec -it sql_container bash

cd /var/lib/mysql

mysql -u root -p

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

Create new user for accessing db \ Root access not recomendade

CREATE USER 'user'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'passwod';

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'user'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Now Connect Using Workbench

host = localhost

port = 3306

user_name = user

user_password = password
