# create a mysql service named lolipop
dokku mysql:create lolipop
# you can also specify the image and image
# version to use for the service
# it *must* be compatible with the
# official mysql image
export MYSQL_IMAGE="mysql"
export MYSQL_IMAGE_VERSION="5.5"
dokku mysql:create lolipop
# you can also specify custom environment
# variables to start the mysql service
# in semi-colon separated form
export MYSQL_CUSTOM_ENV="USER=alpha;HOST=beta"
dokku mysql:create lolipop
# get connection information as follows
dokku mysql:info lolipop
# you can also retrieve a specific piece of service info via flags
dokku mysql:info lolipop --config-dir
dokku mysql:info lolipop --data-dir
dokku mysql:info lolipop --dsn
dokku mysql:info lolipop --exposed-ports
dokku mysql:info lolipop --id
dokku mysql:info lolipop --internal-ip
dokku mysql:info lolipop --links
dokku mysql:info lolipop --service-root
dokku mysql:info lolipop --status
dokku mysql:info lolipop --version
# a bash prompt can be opened against a running service
# filesystem changes will not be saved to disk
dokku mysql:enter lolipop
# you may also run a command directly against the service
# filesystem changes will not be saved to disk
dokku mysql:enter lolipop ls -lah /
# a mysql service can be linked to a
# container this will use native docker
# links via the docker-options plugin
# here we link it to our 'playground' app
# NOTE: this will restart your app
dokku mysql:link lolipop playground
# the following environment variables will be set automatically by docker (not
# on the app itself, so they won’t be listed when calling dokku config)
#
# DOKKU_MYSQL_LOLIPOP_NAME=/lolipop/DATABASE
# DOKKU_MYSQL_LOLIPOP_PORT=tcp://172.17.0.1:3306
# DOKKU_MYSQL_LOLIPOP_PORT_3306_TCP=tcp://172.17.0.1:3306
# DOKKU_MYSQL_LOLIPOP_PORT_3306_TCP_PROTO=tcp
# DOKKU_MYSQL_LOLIPOP_PORT_3306_TCP_PORT=3306
# DOKKU_MYSQL_LOLIPOP_PORT_3306_TCP_ADDR=172.17.0.1
#
# and the following will be set on the linked application by default
#
# DATABASE_URL=mysql://mysql:SOME_PASSWORD@dokku-mysql-lolipop:3306/lolipop
#
# NOTE: the host exposed here only works internally in docker containers. If
# you want your container to be reachable from outside, you should use `expose`.
# another service can be linked to your app
dokku mysql:link other_service playground
# since DATABASE_URL is already in use, another environment variable will be
# generated automatically
#
# DOKKU_MYSQL_BLUE_URL=mysql://mysql:ANOTHER_PASSWORD@dokku-mysql-other-service:3306/other_service
# you can then promote the new service to be the primary one
# NOTE: this will restart your app
dokku mysql:promote other_service playground
# this will replace DATABASE_URL with the url from other_service and generate
# another environment variable to hold the previous value if necessary.
# you could end up with the following for example:
#
# DATABASE_URL=mysql://mysql:ANOTHER_PASSWORD@dokku-mysql-other_service:3306/other_service
# DOKKU_MYSQL_BLUE_URL=mysql://mysql:ANOTHER_PASSWORD@dokku-mysql-other-service:3306/other_service
# DOKKU_MYSQL_SILVER_URL=mysql://mysql:SOME_PASSWORD@dokku-mysql-lolipop:3306/lolipop
# you can also unlink a mysql service
# NOTE: this will restart your app and unset related environment variables
dokku mysql:unlink lolipop playground
# you can tail logs for a particular service
dokku mysql:logs lolipop
dokku mysql:logs lolipop -t # to tail
# you can dump the database
dokku mysql:export lolipop > lolipop.sql
# you can import a dump
dokku mysql:import lolipop < database.sql
# you can clone an existing database to a new one
dokku mysql:clone lolipop new_database
# finally, you can destroy the container
dokku mysql:destroy lolipopIt's possible to change the protocol for DATABASE_URL by setting the environment variable MYSQL_DATABASE_SCHEME on the app:
dokku config:set playground MYSQL_DATABASE_SCHEME=mysql2
dokku mysql:link lolipop playground
Will cause DATABASE_URL to be set as mysql2://mysql:SOME_PASSWORD@dokku-mysql-lolipop:3306/lolipop
CAUTION: Changing MYSQL_DATABASE_SCHEME after linking will cause dokku to
believe the service is not linked when attempting to use dokku mysql:unlink
or dokku mysql:promote.
You should be able to fix this by
- Changing DATABASE_URL manually to the new value.
OR
- Set MYSQL_DATABASE_SCHEME back to its original setting
- Unlink the service
- Change MYSQL_DATABASE_SCHEME to the desired setting
- Relink the service
It is possible to add custom configuration settings.
/etc/mysql/conf.d is mapped to the output of dokku mysql:info SERVICE --config-dir
Any files placed in this folder will be loaded. If a file is changed you will need to reload your database for the changes to take effect.
For more information on configuration options see https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/option-files.html
Note: This plugin mounts a host directory into the container under
/etc/mysql/conf.d. Custom images that have files in this directory will have those files overwritten by the mount.
Datastore backups are supported via AWS S3 and S3 compatible services like minio.
You may skip the backup-auth step if your dokku install is running within EC2
and has access to the bucket via an IAM profile. In that case, use the --use-iam
option with the backup command.
Backups can be performed using the backup commands:
# setup s3 backup authentication
dokku mysql:backup-auth lolipop AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
# remove s3 authentication
dokku mysql:backup-deauth lolipop
# backup the `lolipop` service to the `BUCKET_NAME` bucket on AWS
dokku mysql:backup lolipop BUCKET_NAME
# schedule a backup
# CRON_SCHEDULE is a crontab expression, eg. "0 3 * * *" for each day at 3am
dokku mysql:backup-schedule lolipop CRON_SCHEDULE BUCKET_NAME
# cat the contents of the configured backup cronfile for the service
dokku mysql:backup-schedule-cat lolipop
# remove the scheduled backup from cron
dokku mysql:backup-unschedule lolipop
Backup auth can also be set up for different regions, signature versions and endpoints (e.g. for minio):
# setup s3 backup authentication with different region
dokku mysql:backup-auth lolipop AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY AWS_REGION
# setup s3 backup authentication with different signature version and endpoint
dokku mysql:backup-auth lolipop AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY AWS_REGION AWS_SIGNATURE_VERSION ENDPOINT_URL
# more specific example for minio auth
dokku mysql:backup-auth lolipop MINIO_ACCESS_KEY_ID MINIO_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY us-east-1 s3v4 https://YOURMINIOSERVICE
If you wish to disable the docker pull calls that the plugin triggers, you may set the MYSQL_DISABLE_PULL environment variable to true. Once disabled, you will need to pull the service image you wish to deploy as shown in the stderr output.
Please ensure the proper images are in place when docker pull is disabled.
