Docker

If you not want to use the faf-stack or need to build the images by hand here the outdated readme.

Get docker.

Quick overview of Docker can be found: Docker Quick Start Guide

Build the container using

docker build -t faf-db .

Run using the following command. We recommend using the default values defined in config.py, where password=banana and db_name=faf_test. The port forwarding -p 3306:3006 is optional, but can be used to connect external tools running on your host system to the database, for instance MySQL Workbench.

docker run -d --name faf-db -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=banana -e MYSQL_DATABASE=faf -p 3306:3306 faf-db

Check to see if running by looking at the container and netstat

docker ps
netstat -atn | grep 3306

Find containers IP (Container ID can be found under docker ps)

docker inspect <container_id> (IP is under IPAddress in NetworkSettings)

Import Structure and Data

cat db-structure.sql db-data.sql | docker exec -i faf-db mysql -uroot -pbanana faf

Now the database should be ready to go!

To get a shell mysql session where you can execute queries conveniently, use this

docker exec -ti faf-db mysql -u <username> -p
