Can't connect to mysql container from MySQL Workbench (Windows 10)

[rgaicherry]

Need help to connect to mysql container from MySQL Workbench (Windows 10). Here are the steps I took:

1. Installed Docker for Windows 10.

2. Downloaded mysql instance via command:

    docker run --name mysql_qa -p 3306:3306 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root -d mysql
   

3. Verified that mysql container is running (checked via "docker ps"):

CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
c1616f7623d4 mysql "docker-entrypoint..." 18 hours ago Up 24 minutes 0.0.0.0:3306->3306/tcp mysql_qa

4. Got he IP address of mysql container via "docker inspect mysql_qa":

   "IPAddress": "172.17.0.2"

5. Verify mysql container' status via "docker logs mysql_qa" and got the following:

Version: '5.7.17' socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' port: 3306 MySQL Community Server (GPL)

5. Installed MySQL Workbench for Windows 64bit.

6. Inside MySQL Workbench, I tried to connect to mysql container using IP address 172.17.0.2 and port 3306, it failed. I also tried to connect to 192.168.99.100 and port 3306. It failed too.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks ahead.

Problem solved: using hostname as localhost / port 3306, connected successfully. Thx.

[xvjianzhe]

... I used 0.0.0.0:3306 connected successfully!

[namelus]

I have
Hostname: 192.168.99.100
Port: 3306

When I click test connection the error dialog reads

Host '192.168.99.1' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server.

Additionally - my environment is Win7 Home with the latest Docker Toolbox.

Any suggestions?

[saifulss]

Same problem here. Docker Toolbox, Win10.

192.168.99.100
3306

Getting same error message as @namelus

[saifulss]

Fixed it.

I had to create a user which has origin set as '%' as such:

CREATE USER 'monty'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'secret';

At the MySQL Workbench connection, use this new user. Worked.

@saifulss it working for me

That was useful for me -> tutorial

i have created a docker container with an image of mysql 5.7 but i do not know how to connect from workbench to the database that is in that container...
helppp

[halonsotrejo]

It looks mysql interpreting the -p as an argument, I just had to move the argument:

docker run -p 3306:3306 --name some-mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=my-secret-pw -d mysql:latest

copy from #95

[ltangvald]

Anything after the image name is passed as arguments to the server. Arguments for docker have to be before it

@saifulss it's also working for me.thx.

This allowed me to log in to Mysql via "tableplus"... but I am unable to create new tables from within that tool. I get the error message

Access denied for user 'admin'@'%' to database 'test'

Any ideas?

You probably have to grant the right permissions. e.g.

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON <database_name>.* TO 'username'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON <database_name>.* TO 'username'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'

This syntax did not work for me. This worked instead:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON <database_name>.* TO 'username'@'%';

database_name can be * to grant access to all databases.

This SO answer worked for me https://stackoverflow.com/a/51437525/10034557

Just worth noting that if you already have running MySQL or MariaDB on port 3306 it wouldn't work, go to your windows services, and disabled it.

[anisomorphic]

What worked for me was recreating the container with the -p 3306:3306 flag, it popped up the windows firewall dialog and once I clicked "allow" I was able to connect with 'localhost' thru MySQL workbench and PyCharm. Hope this helps!
