docker-compose with multiple databases

Question

I\'m trying to figure out how to implement docker using docker-compose.yml with 2 databases imported from sql dumps.

httpd:
    container_name: webserver
            


        

Answer 1

Just as an update to anyone else who may look into this.

I solved this by removing:

MYSQL_DATABASE: dbname 

from docker-compose.yml and adding the relevant create database statements directly to the sql file being passed to docker-entrypoint-initdb.d.

At that stage, sql commands are performed under root, so you'll also need to add a statement to grant relevant permissions to the database user you want to use.
