boot2docker-mysql-init

An init script replacement that fixes permission issues on boot2docker mounted volumes.

This script is meant to be a temporary solution until file syncing issues are fixed.

background

There's a boot2docker/non-native-docker issue where the container fails to run. This is whenever a data volume is mounted on /var/lib/mysql. This issue is discussed here: docker-library/mysql#99.

A solution was posted by @motin, quoting:

The solution is to make sure that mysql runs using the same user and group ids
as your local OSX user.

installation/usage

there are two ways to install the fix.

You can download the script by running this command:

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thejpanganiban/boot2docker-mysql-init/master/init.sh > init.sh

build new image

Create a new dockerfile

cat <<EOT >> Dockerfile
FROM mysql:latest
ADD init.sh /tmp/init.sh
CMD ["/tmp/init.sh"]
EOT

mount in compose

Update compose.yml

mysql:
  image: mysql:latest
  volumes:
    # ...
    - init.sh:/tmp/init.sh
  command: /tmp/init.sh
