A Docker utility that wraps MySQL command line tools to perform a one-way sync from one database to another.

Since the source database may be in another Docker container that is still in the process of coming up, this utility automatically waits on the source database to become accessible before continuing.

There are several ways to run klsmith/mysql-sync.

Stand-alone:

docker run -e SRC_HOST=sourcehost.example.com \
    -e SRC_NAME=source_db_name \
    -e SRC_PASS=source_db_pass \
    -e SRC_USER=source_db_user \
    -e DEST_HOST=destinationhost.example.com \
    -e DEST_NAME=destination_db_name \
    -e DEST_PASS=destination_db_pass \
    -e DEST_USER=destination_db_user \
    klsmith/mysql-sync

Docker Compose:

version: '2'

services:
  mysql-sync:
    image: 'klsmith/mysql-sync:latest'
    environment:
      - SRC_HOST=sourcehost.example.com
      - SRC_NAME=source_db_name
      - SRC_PASS=source_db_pass
      - SRC_USER=source_db_user
      - DEST_HOST=destinationhost.example.com
      - DEST_NAME=destination_db_name
      - DEST_PASS=destination_db_pass
      - DEST_USER=destination_db_user

The important bits are the environment variables, all of which are required.

The container will exit with code 0 when the sync finishes.

If you think you've found a bug, please post a good quality bug report in this project's GitHub Issues. Quoting from Coen Jacobs, this is how you can best help me understand and fix the issue:

• The title explains the issue in just a couple words
• The description is detailed enough and contains at least:
  • steps to reproduce the issue
  • what the expected result is and what actually happens
  • the version of the software being used
