docker mysql container exits after being started

Question

I am trying to launch a docker MySQL container with an initialization script. My Dockerfile looks like this:

FROM node:11
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY ./init.sql /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/
COPY . .
RUN npm install
ENV PORT=8000
EXPOSE ${PORT}
CMD [ "npm", "start" ]

And I have my init.sql file in two places, the home directory as well as the docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/ folder. The init.sql file only has create table and insert statements. I'm running my Docker commands in this order:

//start network
docker network create --driver bridge mysql-net

//launch docker mysql container with init script to create tables & data
docker run -d --name mysql-server --network mysql-net -p 3306:3306 -e "MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=rootpassword" -e "MYSQL_DATABASE=yelplikeapp" -e "MYSQL_USER=yelplikeapp" -e "MYSQL_PASSWORD=hunter2" -v "/c/Users/marti/Documents/projectFolder:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d" mysql:5

launching the mysql-server container works initially, but after a couple seconds when I run 'docker ps -a'I can see that it exits as soon as it starts:

Why is my mysql-server container exiting? I've been trying to go into the container and view the database to verify that all the tables were created successfully. But I was having trouble doing that and think that this is the root of the problem.

For transparencies sake I'll post my full init.sql file: When I check the logs for mysql-server, there's an error message saying ERROR 1050 (42S01) at line 1: Table 'users' already exists

Answer 1

solved it, i removed the copy statement from my dockerfile, and also deleted on of my init.sql files.I had two in my project files, one in my homeRepo/init.sql and homeRepo/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/

I deleted the homeRepo/init.sql file, re - ran the creation of my docker mysql-server creation, and it worked

Answer 2

Run the "getenforce" command. If the output says "enforcing", run the command "setenforce 0".
