I am having some issues connecting to the mysql docker container that I have launched with docker-compose. This is a long post (sorry!).
Here is my docker-compose.yml file:
db:
image: mysql:5.7
ports:
- "3306:3306" # I have tried both ports and expose "3306". Still doesn't work
environment:
- MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD="secret"
- MYSQL_USER="django"
- MYSQL_PASSWORD="secret"
- MYSQL_DATABASE="myAppDB"
Then:
$> docker-compose build
db uses an image, skipping #expected!
$> docker-compose up
<<LOTS OF OUTPUT>>
OK, so now I have an up and running docker container runner mysql:5.7. Great! Or is it? When testing in my django app, I get Operational errors saying that the user isn't allowed to connect the database. Ok, so maybe it's my django then?
$> docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
c7216f99ca0f mysql:5.7 "docker-entrypoint.sh" 3 minutes ago Up 3 minutes 0.0.0.0:3306->3306/tcp sharpfin_db_1
$> docker-machine ip dev
192.168.99.100
$> mysql -h 192.168.99.100 -P 3306 -u django -p
Enter password:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'django'@'192.168.99.1' (using password: YES)
ok so maybe It's something to do with connecting to the docker-compose container? What if I try connecting from inside the docker container?
$> docker exec -it c7216f99ca0f /bin/bash
root@c7216f99ca0f:/#
root@c7216f99ca0f:/# mysql -u django -p
Enter password:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'django'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
ok, so docker mysql won't let me connect, don't know why. Let's see what happens when I try do this without docker-compose:
$> docker run --name run-mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD="secret" -e MYSQL_USER="django" -e MYSQL_PASSWORD="secret" -e MYSQL_DATABASE="myAppDB" -p "3306:3306" mysql:5.7
<<LOTS OF OUTPUT SAME AS BEFORE>>
Ok, so now we have a container running the same image as before with the same settings. (I think this assertion is probably not true - docker-compose is doing something different to docker run).
$> docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
73071b929e82 mysql:5.7 "docker-entrypoint.sh" 3 minutes ago Up 3 minutes 0.0.0.0:3306->3306/tcp run-mysql
There's my container (called run-mysql). Let's connect!
$> mysql -h 192.168.99.100 -P 3306 -u django -p
Enter password:

Alright. Can log in. That's weird... What about from inside the container?
$> docker exec -it 73071b929e82 /bin/bash

Ok, I can log in from outside and inside the container when I launch with docker run, but not with docker-compose. What's going on? There must be something either docker-compose is doing behind the scenes that changes how the database is initialized.
All the above is the exact same if I try with the root user as well. So it's not a permissions issue with the django user.
Any ideas how to resolve this?
