MySQL Self-Hosted with Docker

This repository provides a docker compose setup for running a self-hosted MySQL server.

It is pre-configured to join a shared Docker network, which simplifies connecting to other services like n8n.

Features

• Uses the official MySQL Docker image.
• Persists data in a local volume.
• Configured for a shared network for easy integration.
• Includes scripts for easy management (restart-docker.sh, update-docker.sh).
• Includes a backup.sh script for easy database backups.

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/AiratTop/mysql-self-hosted.git
   cd mysql-self-hosted

2. Create the shared network: If it doesn't exist yet, create the shared Docker network:

   docker network create shared_network

3. Configure environment variables: Update a .env file and specify your database credentials. You can use my Open Source password generator to create a strong password.

4. Start the service:

   docker compose up -d

Usage

• Start: docker compose up -d
• Restart: ./restart-docker.sh
• Update: ./update-docker.sh (Pulls the latest image and restarts)
• Backup: ./backup.sh (Creates a compressed backup in the backups directory)

Connecting with n8n

This setup is designed to work with the n8n-self-hosted configuration. Since both services are on the shared_network, you can connect to MySQL from n8n using mysql as the host on port 3306.
