#Docker mysql root username install

Check the link MySQL on Windows using Docker for information how this can be done. A recommended practice is not to use the root user, and create a different user with more restrictive permissions. With the sample application I’m just using the root user to create and access a database. With the sample application, I’m creating a database from the application’s code. The -d option is used to detach the console to run the container in the background.įor accessing the database directly within the Docker container, docker exec can be used, passing the name of the container, the username ( -u) and the password ( -p) as arguments: docker exec -it mysql1 mysql -uroot -pUseASecretPasswordĭocker exec requires the name of the container ( mysql1), as well as the command that should be invoked ( mysql). I’m also using the environment variables MYSQL_ROOT_HOST and MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD to allow all IP addresses from the host to access the database, and to set the root password. With the option -p I’m telling Docker to expose the internal port 3306 outside on the host machine with the same port number 3306. The Docker container needs to be accessible from the outside. To run a Docker container with MySQL I’m using the following command: docker run -name mysql1 -p 3306:3306 -e MYSQL_ROOT_HOST=% -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=UseASecretPassword -d mysql:latest On my system I’m running Docker Desktop with WSL-2.

For not needing to install MySQL on my system, I’m using a Docker image as you can read here: To demonstrate using EF Core I took one of the existing samples and changed the SQL Server provider to a MySQL provider. When using EF Core I’m using Micorosft SQL Server or Azure Cosmos DB – and you have many code samples for EF Core in my book Professional C# and. Recently I’ve been asked for a sample using EF Core with MySQL.
