使用带有虚拟框共享文件夹的docker机器启动mysql容器

Question

I'm trying to create a local dev setup using Docker Machine. I keep running into error when trying to create a mysql container. Here's my setup.

docker-machine version 0.3.0

Virtualbox version 4.3.30

Default boot2docker vm in virtualbox, with shared folder /Users

I created the mysql folder to be mounted on creating the container at /Users/tinnguyen/Development/Docker/containers/mysql

Standard permission:

drwxr-xr-x 2 tinnguyen staff 68 Jul 25 16:45 mysql

Below is my docker command

docker run -d --name mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root -v /Users/tinnguyen/Development/Docker/containers/mysql:/var/lib/mysql mysql

When I do docker logs mysql , this is the error I got

docker logs mysql

Would really appreciate any help! Thanks.

By default, it should be setup correctly and work but you may want to check the folder sharing setting on VirtualBox.

run VirtualBox, check the default machine Settings. Click on Shared Folders and verify that /Users folder from your host macbook is mounted in the VM.
