db: Access for External Tools

The MySQL service in the db container is exposed at a random port by default. This is done to avoid port conflicts when running several Docksal projects at once.

$ fin ps
        Name                      Command               State            Ports
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sitename_cli_1   /opt/startup.sh gosu root  ...   Up      22/tcp, 9000/tcp
sitename_db_1    /entrypoint.sh mysqld            Up      0.0.0.0:34567->3306/tcp
sitename_web_1   /opt/startup.sh apache2 -D ...   Up      443/tcp, 80/tcp

Use the IP 192.168.64.100 for host and the sitename_db_1 port (in this case, 34567, but it’s unique for every site) for port, and then the username and password you’ve configured (user/user by default).

It should look like this:

Assigning a static port

To have a static port assigned, override the MYSQL_PORT_MAPPING variable value in .docksal/docksal-local.env.

Example

MYSQL_PORT_MAPPING='33061:3306'

In this case, the current project db will be accessible at 192.168.64.100:33061.

If you plan to run several Docksal projects with exposed static ports at once, then use unique exposed port numbers.

Credentials

Default user credentials:

Username: user
Password: user

Default admin credentials:

Username: root
Password: root

Root password

Override the default admin password by changing the value of MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD in .docksal/docksal.env or .docksal/docksal-local.env.

MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD="gue$$-me-not"

You must run fin reset db after making a change to the MySQL passwords. This will drop your existing databases and require you to re-import your data.
