Run MySQL in a Docker container

December 12, 2021

How to run MySQL commands in a Docker container.

#!/bin/bash
set -a; source <(cat .env | sed -e '/^#/d;/^\s*$/d' -e "s/'/'\\\''/g" -e "s/=\(.*\)/='\1'/g"); set +a
docker exec wp_db mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e " \
use db1; \
select * from wp_options where option_name='siteurl'; \
select * from wp_options where option_name='home';" 2>/dev/null

#!/bin/bash set -a; source <(cat .env | sed -e '/^#/d;/^\s*$/d' -e "s/'/'\\\''/g" -e "s/=\(.*\)/='\1'/g"); set +a docker exec wp_db mysql -uroot -p${MYSQL_PASSWORD} -e " \ use db1; \ select * from wp_options where option_name='siteurl'; \ select * from wp_options where option_name='home';" 2>/dev/null

  • The first command loads the content of .env to environment variables.
  • The MySQL password can then be used using the ${MYSQL_PASSWORD} variable.
  • I’m using sed to get around the special characters in the password.
  • The second command runs docker exec on wp_db container.
  • The last 3 commands are the actual sql commands.
  • We are selecting to use the db1 database.
  • Then we run select statements from the wp_options table.
  • Finally, 2>/dev/null suppresses errors and warning to null.
