Versions

MySQL versions currently provided are:

• MySQL 5.7
• MySQL 8.0

RHEL versions currently supported are:

• RHEL7
• RHEL8

CentOS versions currently supported are:

• CentOS7

Installation

Choose either the CentOS7 or RHEL7 based image:

• RHEL7 based image

  These images are available in the Red Hat Container Catalog. To download it run:

  $ podman pull registry.access.redhat.com/rhscl/mysql-80-rhel7
  

  To build a RHEL7 based MySQL image, you need to run Docker build on a properly subscribed RHEL machine.

  $ git clone --recursive https://github.com/sclorg/mysql-container.git
  $ cd mysql-container
  $ git submodule update --init
  $ make build TARGET=rhel7 VERSIONS=8.0
  

• CentOS7 based image

  This image is available on DockerHub. To download it run:

  $ podman pull centos/mysql-80-centos7
  

  To build a CentOS based MySQL image from scratch, run:

  $ git clone --recursive https://github.com/sclorg/mysql-container.git
  $ cd mysql-container
  $ git submodule update --init
  $ make build TARGET=centos7 VERSIONS=8.0
  

For using other versions of MySQL, just replace the 8.0 value by particular version in the commands above.

Note: while the installation steps are calling podman, you can replace any such calls by docker with the same arguments.

Notice: By omitting the VERSIONS parameter, the build/test action will be performed on all provided versions of MySQL, which must be specified in VERSIONS variable. This variable must be set to a list with possible versions (subdirectories).

Usage

For information about usage of Dockerfile for MySQL 5.7, see usage documentation.

For information about usage of Dockerfile for MySQL 8.0, see usage documentation.

Test

This repository also provides a test framework, which checks basic functionality of the MySQL image.

Users can choose between testing MySQL based on a RHEL or CentOS image.

• RHEL based image

  To test a RHEL7 based MySQL image, you need to run the test on a properly subscribed RHEL machine.

  $ cd mysql-container
  $ git submodule update --init
  $ make test TARGET=rhel7 VERSIONS=8.0
  

• CentOS based image

  $ cd mysql-container
  $ git submodule update --init
  $ make test TARGET=centos7 VERSIONS=8.0
  

For using other versions of MySQL, just replace the 8.0 value by particular version in the commands above.
