Please see https://www.hpc.iastate.edu/guides/containers/mysql-server for usage instructions.

Quick Start

1. Make local directory structure for database information

$ mkdir -p ${PWD}/mysql/var/lib/mysql ${PWD}/mysql/run/mysqld

2. Download the sample .my.cnf and .mysqlpassword files

$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ISU-HPC/mysql/master/my.cnf > ${HOME}/.my.cnf
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ISU-HPC/mysql/master/mysqlrootpw > ${HOME}/.mysqlrootpw

3. Launch an instance of the container, bind-mounting the local directories

$ singularity instance.start --bind ${PWD}/mysql/var/lib/mysql/:/var/lib/mysql --bind ${PWD}/mysql/run/mysqld:/run/mysqld shub://ISU-HPC/mysql mysql

4. Run the container's runscript to initialize mysqld and then launch mysqld

$ singularity run instance://mysql

5. Verify mysqld is running by opening a shell in the container an starting the MySQL client

$ singularity shell instance://mysql
