A more interesting example mounts a local data directory:

> mkdir test
2
> docker run -v $PWD/test:/home/test -w /home/test dolt-test init
3
Successfully initialized dolt data repository.
4
> docker run -v $PWD/test:/home/test -w /home/test dolt-test sql -q "create table t1 (a bigint primary key)"
5
> docker run -v $PWD/test:/home/test -w /home/test dolt-test sql -q "insert into t1 values (0), (1)"
6
Query OK, 2 rows affected

Dolt SQL-Server
A Dockerfile that runs Dolt in server mode by default might look like:
1
FROM centos
2
​
3
RUN yum install -y curl \
4
    && curl -L https://github.com/dolthub/dolt/releases/latest/download/install.sh | bash \
5
    && dolt config --global --add user.name "FIRST LAST" \
6
    && dolt config --global --add user.email "[email protected]"
7
​
8
EXPOSE 3306
9
ENTRYPOINT ["dolt"]
10
CMD ["sql-server", "-l", "trace", "--host", "0.0.0.0"]
Copied!
If our current directory has a valid Dolt repo test:
1
> docker run -p 3306:3306 -v $PWD/test:/home/test -w /home/test dolt-test
2
Starting server with Config HP="0.0.0.0:3306"|U="root"|P=""|T="28800000"|R="false"|L="trace"
Copied!
If we run the command above with -d or switch to a separate window we can connect with MySQL (empty password by default):
1
> mysql> --user=root --host=0.0.0.0 -t test -p
2
mysql> select * from t1;

Docker-Compose SQL-Server
The Dockerfile from the SQL-Server example can be used in a docker-compose.yml:
1
version: '3.3'
2
services:
3
  db:
4
    build:
5
      context: .
6
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
7
    restart: always
8
    ports:
9
      - '3306:3306'
10
    expose:
11
      - '3306'
12
    volumes:
13
      - ./test:/home/test
14
    working_dir: /home/test
15
volumes:
16
  test:
Copied!
Up'ing the resources exposes a server on port 3306, accessed with mysql as shown the last example.
1
> docker-compose up
2
Starting tmp_db_1 ... done
3
Attaching to tmp_db_1
4
db_1  | Starting server with Config HP="0.0.0.0:3306"|U="root"|P=""|T="28800000"|R="false"|L="trace"
5
db_1  | TRACE: received query select * from t1
6
db_1  | DEBUG: executing query
7
db_1  | TRACE: returning result row [INT64(0)]
8
