# Docker OS Images : MARIADB

Simple and lightweight (170Mo) container used to deliver mysql like database service using [mariadb project](https://mariadb.org/).
Run [mariadb daemon](https://mariadb.org/) under a container based on [startx/fedora container](https://hub.docker.com/r/startx/fedora)

| [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/startxfr/docker-images.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/startxfr/docker-images) | [Dockerhub Registry](https://hub.docker.com/r/startx/sv-mariadb/) | [Sources](https://github.com/startxfr/docker-images/Services/mariadb)             | [STARTX Profile](https://github.com/startxfr) | 
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|

## Available flavours

* `:latest` : Fedora core 23 + MariaDB 
* `:fc23` : Fedora core 23 + MariaDB 
* `:fc22` : Fedora core 22 + MariaDB 
* `:fc21` : Fedora core 21 + MariaDB 
* `:centos7` : CentOS 7 + MariaDB 
* `:centos6` : Centos 6 + MariaDB 

## Running from dockerhub registry

* with `docker` you can run `docker run -it --name="sv-mariadb" startx/sv-mariadb` from any docker host
* with `docker-compose` you can create a docker-compose.yml file with the following content
```
service:
  image: startx/sv-mariadb:latest
  container_name: "sv-mariadb"
  environment:
    CONTAINER_TYPE: "service"
    CONTAINER_SERVICE: "mariadb"
    CONTAINER_INSTANCE: "service-mariadb"

    MYSQL_USER: "user-test"
    MYSQL_PASSWORD: "pwd-test"
    MYSQL_DATABASE: "db_test"
  volumes:
    - "/tmp/container/logs/mariadb:/data/logs/mariadb"
    - "/tmp/container/mariadb:/data/mariadb"
```

## Docker-compose in various situations

* sample docker-compose.yml linked to host port 1000
```
service:
  image: startx/sv-mariadb:latest
  container_name: "sv-mariadb"
  environment:
    CONTAINER_INSTANCE: "service-mariadb"
  ports:
    - "1001:3306"
```
* sample docker-compose.yml with port exposed only to linked services
```
service:
  image: startx/sv-mariadb:latest
  container_name: "sv-mariadb"
  environment:
    CONTAINER_INSTANCE: "service-mariadb"
  expose:
    - "3306"
```
* sample docker-compose.yml using data container
```
data:
  image: startx/fedora:latest
  container_name: "sv-mariadb-data"
  environment:
    CONTAINER_INSTANCE: "service-mariadb-data"
service:
  image: startx/sv-mariadb:latest
  container_name: "sv-mariadb"
  environment:
    CONTAINER_INSTANCE: "service-mariadb"
  volume_from:
    - data:rw
```

## Using this image in your own container

You can use this Dockerfile template to start a new personalized container based on this container. Create a file named Dockerfile in your project directory and copy this content inside. See [docker guide](http://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/) for instructions on how to use this file.
 ```
FROM startx/sv-mariadb:latest
#... your container specifications
CMD ["/bin/run.sh"]
```

## Exposed port

| Port  | Description                                                              |

| /data/mariadb         | data directory served by mariadb. If empty will be filled with database files on startup. In other case use content from mountpoint or data volumes

## Testing the service

access to the running service with mysql terminal `mysql --host=localhost --port=3306 --user=<MYSQL_USER> --password=<MYSQL_PASSWORD>`. Change port and hostname according to your current configuration

## For advanced users

You want to use this container and code to build and create locally this container, follow theses instructions.

This section will help you if you want to :
* Get latest version of this service container
* Enhance container content by adding instruction in Dockefile before build step

You must have a working environment with the source code of this repository. Read and follow [how to setup your working environment](https://github.com/startxfr/docker-images#setup-your-working-environment-mandatory) to get a working directory. The following instructions assume you are at the top level of your working directory.

### Build & run a container using `docker`

1. Jump into the container directory with `cd Services/mariadb`
2. Build the container using `docker build -t sv-mariadb .`
3. Run this container 
  1. Interactively with `docker run -p 3306:3306 -v /data/logs/mariadb -it sv-mariadb`. If you add a second parameter (like `/bin/bash`) to will run this command instead of the default entrypoint. Usefull to interact with this container (ex: `/bin/bash`, `/bin/ps -a`, `/bin/df -h`,...) 
  2. As a daemon with `docker run -p 3306:3306 -v /data/logs/mariadb -d sv-mariadb`


### Build & run a container using `docker-compose`

1. Jump into the container directory with `cd Services/mariadb`
2. Run this container 
  1. Interactively with `docker-compose up` Startup logs appears and escaping this command stop the container
  2. As a daemon with `docker-compose up -d`. Container startup logs can be read using `docker-compose logs`

If you experience trouble with port already used, edit docker-compose.yml file and change port mapping
