I just recently switched to using docker and I am having issues getting mariadb up and running. Using gfjardim docker pluggin, I easily installed mariadb and have it running. The issue is that I cannot get a new database to be generated during my first use.

 

I have used mariadb before but I have always logged in and created users and databases via command line. Is this possible with the docker app? I have also tried connecting to mariadb through xbmc with the user:root and no password but I am still unable to connect to the database.

 

Thanks so much

I found it easy to use heidisql, a gui to log into mariadb and create users and passwords that way.

The root user doesn't have password. You can use MySQL Workbench to change that.

Thanks so much. That was super simple using workbench.
