Docker image for 5.7.37 fails to start

[fedinskiy]

If 5.7.37 container started through docker, it fails with ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (111).
Docker images for 5.7.36 work flawlessly on the same hardware.

How to reproduce:
Run docker run --name my37 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=my-secret-pw mysql:5.7.37 (It works the same way with -d option)
This works fine: docker run --name my36 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=my-secret-pw mysql:5.7.36

Docker version:

 Version:           20.10.14
 API version:       1.41
 Go version:        go1.16.15
 Git commit:        a224086
 Built:             Thu Mar 24 01:48:41 2022
 OS/Arch:           linux/amd64
 Context:           default

[wglambert]

I'm not able to reproduce an issue with connecting using the unix socket

$ docker run -d --name my37 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=my-secret-pw mysql:5.7.37

@tianon May we consider re-opening this issue for further investigations?

Many similar was opened but this one brings the simplest way to reproduce. I got to the exact same situation of @fedinskiy, fixed by using 5.7.36:

# does not work
docker run --rm -e MYSQL_ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes mysql:5.7.42
# works
docker run --rm -e MYSQL_ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes mysql:5.7.36

Please also note if we do the same using docker compose, the error occurs at the first docker compose up but disappear if you do it again with the container already started. However, the expected init script is skipped.

Here is my docker info:

Please ask if you need another details. It looks indeed the bug appears only on some operating system conditions.

Thanks!

I'm glad you've narrowed it down! I would suggest filing an issue with upstream MySQL with details -- even better if you can test it without Docker involved at all (just installing MySQL 5.7.36 and then updating it to 5.7.42 and verifying that it still breaks in the same way).

We're a pretty faithful packaging of Oracle's own binaries (we don't build MySQL from source or anything esoteric like that), and our configuration changes are fairly minor, so any issue of this sort is very unlikely to be specific to our image, and is much more likely to be something in MySQL itself or in the environment/setup.

@soullivaneuh, the two images: mysql:5.7.42 and mysql:5.7.36 are based on different Linux distributions, Oracle Linux and Debian, respectively (#867 and docker-library/official-images#12743). I don't know if somehow that is the cause of the issue you are running into. We tried to make them as interoperable as possible, but you can still choose the -debian tag to get the Debian based version. Does mysql:5.7.37 (Debian default) also fail? Does any of mysql:5.7.38-debian through mysql:5.7.42-debian work? If none of the later Debian images work, then I am still unsure where the issue could be (since the difference between mysql:5.7.37 and mysql:5.7.36 is just the version bump).

Note: that could not be the case for the original issue since we didn't change the default until mysql:5.7.38
