Give it a few seconds and try the second command again. Sounds like the container is still booting up. I ran in to the same issue. That did it! mysql> prompt in the works now! Thanks bungy.

Running your commands, this is the error I get: ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'mysql' (111)

I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling, different password variables, now trying a different network variable (host vs bridge). Still having access denied errors. Could my volume mappings be an issue by any chance? I have all shares set to public, not sure what on earth I could be doing wrong.

So what that command is doing is creating a 2nd mysql docker and trying to connect othe the first one with it. My guess is the permissions table on your docker isn't allowing connections from anywhere but 127.0.0.1, but the ip address of your new temporary docker is 172.17.42.1. Try this instead: # This will get you into the shell of the mysql docker docker exec -it mysql bash mysql -u root -p # Then enter your password Give that a shot and let me know how it works for ya. Here's the result, I have gotten similar results with HeidiSQL, same error that is. root@HORTA-unRaid:~# docker exec -it mysql bash root@4c46fbbf6f82:/# mysql -u root -p Enter password: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) root@4c46fbbf6f82:/#

So, I'm a avid windows server user, and recently switched over to unraid. I am still wet behind the ears with navigating unraid via putty sessions. I have loaded the bungy MySql docker via his template. I figured out how to use the advanced settings to name my root password. But now I am stuck, I need to configure the typical settings to allow Kodi to read/write with full permissions as per the wiki, which I have typically done in the windows command line tool for mysql with no issues. I have loaded up a putty instance, and tried running the commands as described at https://hub.docker.com/_/mysql/ When trying the following: docker run -it --link mysql:mysql --rm mysql sh -c 'exec mysql -h"10.x.x.x" -P"3306" -uroot -p"mypw"' "mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure. ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'172.17.42.1' (using password: YES)" I have had quite the successful move to unraid with Plexserver, Sonarr, CouchPotato and Sabnzbd running with no issues. Having a successful mysql instance running so I can deploy my kodi players and sync everything with ease!!
