The process of setting up a Mysql container with Docker Desktop and connecting from the host machine

lnoueryo — Sun, 14 Jul 2024 03:40:58 +0000

Docker Desktop version is 4.32.0

Get Mysql Image

There is a search bar at the header.
Input mysql and you will see a list containing mysql.
Click on it.

You will see the Pull button and click it.
If you wanna pull the image via the terminal, use the following command:

docker pull {image_name}

Set Up Environmental Variables

After the image is downloaded, go to the images page from the drawer and you will see the MySQL image listed.
Click the run buttn.

In the Optional settings, input the values as below and click the Run button

The command is as follows:

docker run --name mysql-container -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password -p 3306:3306 -d mysql:latest

Connect To The Mysql Container From The Host Machine

You might think that you can connect with the following command:

mysql -u root -p

But actually you can't.
The error message will be:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
I asked ChatGPT about the reason for the error and the answer is you need to add the host IP as below.

mysql -u root -p -h 127.0.0.1

And now you can connect to it.
Thank You!!

Background

Executing npm install results in the following error:

failed to solve: error from sender: open \develop\project\webtech-bookstore\frontend\node_modules\.pnpm\@babel+core@7.23.2\node_modules\debug: The file cannot be accessed by the system.

Cause

The node_modules directory installed by different versions of Node.js or on different operating systems may cause compatibility issues

Sharing the node_modules directory installed by different versions of Node.js or on different operating systems may cause compatibility issues. To avoid such problems, it's common to delete the node_modules directory and then run npm install to reinstall the dependencies.
