ERROR Entrypoint Database is uninitialized and password option is not specified

Question

Hi Guys,

I am trying to launch one mysql container in docker, but It shows me the below error.

[root@vm1 ~]# docker run -it --name mysql mysql:latest
2020-04-14 04:55:17+00:00 [Note] [Entrypoint]: Entrypoint script for MySQL Server 8.0.19-1debian10 started.

2020-04-14 04:55:18+00:00 [Note] [Entrypoint]: Entrypoint script for MySQL Server 8.0.19-1debian10 started.
2020-04-14 04:55:18+00:00 [ERROR] [Entrypoint]: Database is uninitialized and password option is not specified

How can I solve this error?

Hi@akhtar,

As we know mysql database requires user name and password, when we try to login. That is why in docker, mysql image requires some environment variable to login in that image. Use the below given command.

$ docker run -it -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=abc --name mysql mysql:latest
