Add environment variable MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD_FILE that allows root password to be set from file contents #36
Conversation

I discussed this with a couple of LSIO team members on discord a while back, and the big concern is supporting a feature thats mainly helpful for swarm/kubernetes secrets while the team generally doesn't use either. That being said, I wanted to show another example where setting the root password from a file is a thing :) |

We are still looking into it and experimenting with it. Here's a new image PR that incorporates it: linuxserver/docker-openssh-server#2 If we decide to add that feature, it will likely go into other images as well. We need to experiment and figure out the best way to implement first, so when it's done, it is standard throughout other images. |

I worked this into a larger overhaul, thank you for the code: Specifically removed the read check as we are running as root in init. |
Addresses #35
Added an environment variable that's used in the container init file to load the root password from a file. It's only loaded if the normal password env var isn't set. Length check is still applied.
This is useful if you don't want the root password present in your docker-compose, or if you're using docker secrets.
Thanks, team linuxserver.io
