My first post! First of all, thank you for Devilbox. It’s making my entry into docker more “peaceful”. My first question:
I don’t know why mysql data is not persistent in the “data” folder. It was a few days ago, and the only thing I recall doing was trying to make docker-sync work (which I think I did).
However, I’ve tried to start a new project in Devilbox and inside the “data” folder I only have the “www” folder with my htdocs.
In the .env file I’ve checked and I have the following:
###
### Local filesystem path to mysql/mariadb datadir.
###
### This can be an existing mysql data directory or empty.
### If it already is a mysql data directory with content,
### it will be mounted into the docker and used.
###
### If this directory is empty, a new mysql database will be
### created.
###
### Note: Inside this path, a subdirectory with the mysql|mariadb
### version will be created where the actual data resides.
### This is to protect databases from being altered by
### newer or older mysql|mariadb server versions.
###
### Note: When changing this variable you must re-create the container.
### Simply remove it, it will be auto-created during the next start:
###
### $ docker-compose rm -f
###
HOST_PATH_MYSQL_DATADIR=./data/mysql
However, this is not working, my data mounts shows mysql host path as a “Docker volume”:
PS: my mysql data seems to be persistent somewhere, but I’d like it to make it persistent inside my project folder.
This means you have a 0.x version of the Devilbox running. Once the Devilbox reached a mature and stable state with v1.0.0 version, this variable has been removed and all persistent database storage has been migrated to Docker volumes instead.
Rest assured, data is persistent. It is just not mounted to data/mysql/ anymore.
Hello there, braindead here, I just upgraded devilbox version and forgot to think about the mysql folder, since I was using devilbox 0.15.
How can I “import” the old mysql folders into the new mysql docker volume?
It seems that the tools available are intended for backups or dumps, but in my case they are not.
Thanks!
I too have the same issue of @masiorama, can you explain in detail how to go back to the older version?
I reverted back to 0.15 by downloading it from the repo, extracted the files and run docker composer up, the installation completed correctly but the databases are not visible in phpmyadmin
If I create a new db, is not visible in the devilbox\data\mysql\mariadb-10.3 , so I suppose that “Docker volume” are active even if I rolled back the devilbox version.
At this point I suppose I can try to move my mysql database into the docker volume (how?) or disable them in order to have mysql data in my windows folder (again how?)
