This problem is annoying me very much, it might be something stupidly simple to a good system admin but i've wasted many hours without success, i've tried many answer from SO and other websites and nothing works for me... I will be as detailed as I can
my system:
debian 11
docker-compose 1.25
Docker version 20.10.5+dfsg1, build 55c4c88
I'm trying to create a mariadb container using docker-compose. here is my yml file:
version: '3.3'
services:
dev-mariadb:
restart: always
container_name: dev-mariadb
image: 'mariadb:10.2.43'
command: --max_allowed_packet=32505856 --log_error=/var/log/mariadb.err --log_warnings=9
environment:
- TZ=America/Sao_Paulo
- LANG=C.UTF-8
- LC_ALL=C.UTF-8
- MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD=somepassword
volumes:
#- './dev-mariadb/etc:/etc'
#- "./dev-mariadb/etc/alternatives/my.cnf:/etc/alternatives/my.cnf"
- ./dev-mariadb/etc/mysql:/etc/mysql
- ./dev-mariadb/var/log/mysql:/var/log/mysql
- ./dev-mariadb/var/lib/mysql:/var/lib/mysql
- ./dev-mariadb/opt/dumps:/opt/dumps
ports:
- '43306:3306'
ulimits:
nproc: 99999
nofile:
soft: 99999
hard: 99999
networks:
- dev-databases
networks:
nginx:
external: true
dev-databases:
external: true
after i run docker-compose up -d the necessary stuff is downloaded, the folders are created [if not exist] and the container starts.
the folders ./dev-mariadb/etc/mysql and ./dev-mariadb/var/log/mysql are completely empty
these folders are owned by root:root and have 644 permission
As i said mariadb is running fine, i can login into it an execute queries normal. but when i try to add a my.cnf to the ./dev-mariadb/etc/mysql folder all my hell starts
this is my my.cnf file:
[mysqld]
user = mysql
pid-file = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
port = 3306
basedir = /usr
datadir = /var/lib/mysql
tmpdir = /tmp
lc-messages-dir = /usr/share/mysql
skip-external-locking
skip-character-set-client-handshake
default-storage-engine = InnoDB
character-set-server = utf8
transaction-isolation = READ-COMMITTED
max_connections=200
key_buffer = 16M
max_allowed_packet = 16M
thread_stack = 192K
thread_cache_size = 16
myisam-recover = BACKUP
max_connections = 300
table_open_cache = 64
table_open_cache = 32
thread_concurrency = 4
I copy it to the host ./dev-mariadb/etc/mysql, if i run docker exec -it dev-mariadb bash and navigate to /etc/mysql i can see the file in there...
THERE IS NO OTHER FILES IN THAT FOLDER
i restart the container with docker-compose restart BUT MARIADB WONT LOAD THE VARIABLES
i run docker-compose up -d then mysql -u root -p then show variables all variables shows up and the max_connections is 151 [the default value] while in my cnf file it is 300
i've tested changing many other variables and no changes take effect
if i run docker logs dev-mariadb

this is the result, nothing that i notice as clearly wrong appears.
WHAT I'VE TRIED:
1- I placed some gibberish in the my.cnf file... added a line with gibberish=123, restart the container then docker logs dev-mariadb and i get the result

it means the mariadb is READING THE FILE
2- i've added the line
command: --max_allowed_packet=32505856 --log_error=/var/log/mariadb.err --log_warnings=9 --max-connections=500
in the docker-compose file, then restarted then log and show variables; THEN THE MAX_CONNECTIONS IS 500
I'm using the MAX_CONNECTIONS variable as example but i've tested with many other variables and they also behave the same
I dont want to set lots of fine grained optimization variables in the docker-compose file.... i want to have it in a separate file the way it is meant to be
what am i doing wrong, can anyone please help me?
