For examples that show how to use the Docker images in the MariaDB Enterprise Docker Registry for MariaDB Enterprise Server, see EXAMPLES.

Other details are listed in the sections below.

Maturity

The Docker images for MariaDB Enterprise Server are currently beta maturity, so they are not currently recommended for production.

Versions

The MariaDB Enterprise Docker Registry provides Docker images for MariaDB Enterprise Server 10.4 and later.

Storage Engines

The Docker images for MariaDB Enterprise Server include all storage engines that are installed with MariaDB Enterprise Server by default. The following storage engines are currently included:

  • Aria

  • CSV

  • InnoDB

  • MEMORY

  • MRG_MYISAM

  • MyISAM

You can check which storage engines are installed by connecting to the Docker container and executing the SHOW ENGINES statement.

Plugins

The Docker images for MariaDB Enterprise Server include all plugins that are installed with MariaDB Enterprise Server by default.

You can check which plugins are installed by connecting to the Docker container and executing the SHOW PLUGINS statement.

The container contains shared libraries for additional plugins that can be installed with the INSTALL SONAME statement or the --plugin-load-add command-line option. You can check which plugins are available by querying the information_schema.ALL_PLUGINS table:

SELECT PLUGIN_NAME, PLUGIN_VERSION, PLUGIN_LIBRARY
FROM information_schema.ALL_PLUGINS
WHERE PLUGIN_STATUS = 'NOT INSTALLED';

EXAMPLES

Connect to Container with Docker Bridge Networking

To connect to a Docker container that uses Docker bridge networking, execute MariaDB Client on the container using docker exec:

$ docker exec --interactive --tty \
   mariadb-es-10.6 \
   mariadb \
   --user=root \
   --password

To confirm the client is connected to the Docker container and the container is using the correct version of MariaDB Enterprise Server, query the version system variable with the SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES statement:

SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES
   LIKE 'version'\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
Variable_name: version
        Value: 10.6.17-12-MariaDB-enterprise-log

To exit the container, use exit:

exit
Bye

The example above shows how to connect to a Docker container using MariaDB Client on the container, but you can also connect using MariaDB Client on the host using TCP/IP. You can inspect the Docker container to find the container's IP address and TCP port bindings.

Connect to Container with Host Networking

To connect to a Docker container that uses host networking, execute MariaDB Client on the host node and specify the host's IP address and the container's port:

$ mariadb --host=192.0.2.1 \
   --port=3307 \
   --user=root \
   --password

To confirm the client is connected to the Docker container and the container is using the correct version of MariaDB Enterprise Server, query the version system variable with the SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES statement:

SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES
   LIKE 'version'\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
Variable_name: version
        Value: 10.6.17-12-MariaDB-enterprise-log

To exit the container, use exit:

exit
Bye

Create a Container with Docker Bridge Networking

By default, Docker containers use Docker bridge networking. To make connecting to the container easier, Docker can use port bindings to publish the container's TCP ports to the host.

To create a Docker container using Docker bridge networking, execute docker run:

$ docker run --detach \
   --name mariadb-es-10.6 \
   --env MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD='Password123!' \
   --publish '3307:3306/tcp' \
   docker.mariadb.com/enterprise-server:10.6 \
   --log-bin=mariadb-bin \
   <other mariadbd command-line options>
3082ab69e565be21c6157bb5a3d8c849ec03a2c51576778ac417a8a3aa9e7537
  • Configure the container using environment variables by setting the --env command-line option.

  • Configure TCP port bindings for the container by setting the --publish or --publish-all command-line options.

  • Configure MariaDB Enterprise Server by setting mariadbd command-line options.

To confirm the Docker container is running, execute docker ps:

$ docker ps \
   --all \
   --filter ancestor='docker.mariadb.com/enterprise-server:10.6'
CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                                         COMMAND                  CREATED          STATUS                      PORTS      NAMES
3082ab69e565   docker.mariadb.com/enterprise-server:10.6   "/es-entrypoint.sh -…"   12 seconds ago   Up 11 seconds               3306/tcp   mariadb-es-10.6

Create a Container with Host Networking

A Docker container can be configured to use the host operating system's network.

To create a Docker container using host networking, execute docker run and specify the --network host option:

$ docker run --detach \
   --network host \
   --name mariadb-es-10.6 \
   --env MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD='Password123!' \
   docker.mariadb.com/enterprise-server:10.6 \
   --port=3307 \
   --log-bin=mariadb-bin \
   <other mariadbd command-line options>
3082ab69e565be21c6157bb5a3d8c849ec03a2c51576778ac417a8a3aa9e7537

To confirm the Docker container is running, execute docker ps:

$ docker ps \
   --all \
   --filter ancestor='docker.mariadb.com/enterprise-server:10.6'

Environment Variables

A Docker container can be configured to perform the following tasks using environment variables:

  • Create a custom database

  • Create a custom database user account with a custom password

  • Initialize the timezone tables

  • Set the host for the root database user

  • Set the password for the root database user

The following table contains details about the environment variables that are supported:

MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD

When the MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD environment variable is set to RANDOM, a random password is generated for the root user account. When the MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD environment variable is set to EMPTY, the root user account uses an empty password. When the MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD environment variable is set to a valid password, the root user account uses the specified password.

No default

$ docker run --detach \
   --network host \
   --name mariadb-es-10.6 \
   --env MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD='Password123!' \
   docker.mariadb.com/enterprise-server:10.6

Inspect Container

A Docker contained can be inspected to find out internal details about the container, such as the following details:

  • IP addresses

  • MAC addresses

  • Port bindings

To inspect all internal details about a Docker container, execute docker inspect:

$ docker inspect mariadb-es-10.6
[
    {
        "Id": "d784a193ad828cbd3db10dfbef3e3b7274465fa587453c3f6e2e27703b361173",

        "Path": "docker-entrypoint.sh",
        "Args": [
            "--log-bin=mariadb-bin"
        ],
        "State": {
            "Status": "running",
            "Running": true,
            "Paused": false,

        },
        ..
    }
]

To inspect a specific internal detail about a Docker container, execute docker inspect and specify a filter using the --format option. Some examples are shown below.

To inspect the container's IP address:

$ docker inspect \
   --format='{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' \
   mariadb-es-10.6
172.17.0.3

To inspect the container's TCP port bindings:

$ docker inspect \
   --format='{{range $p, $conf := .NetworkSettings.Ports}}Container port: {{$p}} -> Host port: {{(index $conf 0).HostPort}} {{end}}' \
   mariadb-es-10.6
Container port: 3306/tcp -> Host port: 3307

Log In to Docker Registry

To log in to the MariaDB Enterprise Docker Registry, execute docker login:

$ docker login docker.mariadb.com

When prompted, enter the login details:

The login details will be saved.

To confirm the login details were saved, check the ~/.docker/config.json file for a JSON object named "docker.mariadb.com" inside an "auths" parent JSON object:

$ cat ~/.docker/config.json
{
   "auths": {
      "docker.mariadb.com": {
         "auth": "<auth_hash>"
      }
   }
}
