MySQL

What it does

This service attaches MySQL to an action from the Build, Build Tools & Task Runners, Static Site Generators category. MySQL remains a most popular open-source database and a go-to choice for web applications supporting a wide range of projects.

How it works

The MySQL service runs as a separate container but in the same network as the action to which is attached. This includes other services attached to the action. Buddy runs main action commands only once the service is fully initialized. There is no need to check MySQL availability on your own. The service is terminated once the action is completed. The service is cacheable it means data generated and stored by the service can be set persistent between action executions.

• Hostname setting for connecting between action and other services
• The port is fixed (3306) and can’t be changed
• You can set a name of the database that will be created on the container setup
• You can populate your database with repository SQL dump (support sql and sql.gz)
• Setting Container CMD which will overwrite default Cassandra start command. It allows to use advances settings provided by the MySQL Docker image.
