Can not access mysql docker

Solution 1:

You can pass an extra environment variable when starting the MySQL container MYSQL_ROOT_HOST=<ip> this will create a root user with permission to login from given IP address. In case where you want to allow login from any IP you can specify MYSQL_ROOT_HOST=%.

This will work only for a newly created containers.

When spinning new container:

docker run --name some-mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_HOST=% -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=my-secret-pw -d mysql:latest

In compose file it would be:

version: '2'
services:

  ### Mysql container
  mysql:
    image: mysql:latest
    ports:
      - "3306:3306"
    volumes:
      - /var/lib/mysql:/var/lib/mysql
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: root
      MYSQL_DATABASE: test_db
      MYSQL_USER: test
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: test_pass
      MYSQL_ROOT_HOST: '%'  # needs to be enclosed with quotes

Solution 2:

When you connect to a MySQL server, it checks it’s GRANT table (the "user" table in the "mysql| database on the MySQL server) against the IP address of the connecting MySQL client machine. If there are NO MATCHING ENTRIES in the "host" column in the "user" table in the "mysql" database, MySQL will IMMEDIATELY CLOSE THE CONNECTION with ERROR 1130.

Check if the client is able to get to port 3306 (the MySQL port) on the database server:

telnet 172.21.0.2 3306
Trying ::1...
Connected to 172.21.0.2.
Escape character is '^]'.

You should log in to the MySQL server, and run "mysql" to check the grants table:

# mysql mysql

mysql> SELECT host,user FROM user;
+-----------------+-----------+
| host            | user      |
+-----------------+-----------+
| 172.21.0.5      | root      |
| 172.21.0.4      | root      |
| 127.0.0.1       | root      |
| ::1             | root      |
| localhost       | root      |

"root" is authorized to connect from several IP addresses, but not from the client IP 172.21.0.1. So, just add GRANT access from that IP:

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON root.* TO 'your_db'@'172.21.0.1' IDENTIFIED BY 'Password';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

Then, check your connection.

Solution 3:

This way it worked for me:

MYSQL_ROOT_HOST: '%'
