Securing and Efficiently Managing MySQL Server Deployment in Docker: Best Practices for Database Backup and Restoration

For this first, we have to set up docker on a Linux machine (Ex- AWS Instance, On-Primise, Virtual Machine, etc).

Step-1 (Setup Docker on Virtual Machine.)

I have Rhel 9 OS with 4 GB RAM and a 2Vc Core CPU. Follow this official Docker community to set up Docker Engine in Centos: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/centos/

Step-2 (Deploy MySQL container on docker.)

# docker info  
# docker --version
# docker images

Pull MySQL Image and create a volume directory for attaching with MySQL container configuration directory. Don't forget to make a mysql port 3606 entry in the firewall.

# mkdir -p /vol/mysql_data
# firewall-cmd --list-all
# firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=3606/tcp 
# firewall-cmd --reload

# docker pull mysql:latest 
# docker images
REPOSITORY   TAG       IMAGE ID       CREATED       SIZE
mysql        latest    a3b6608898d6   3 weeks ago   596MB

# mkdir -p /vol/mysql_data

Run MySQL container

# docker run -d --name=mysql_con -v /vol/mysql_data:/var/lib/mysql --restart=on-failure -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD="password" -p 3606:3606 mysql:latest

# docker ps -a 
CONTAINER ID   IMAGE          COMMAND                  CREATED         STATUS         PORTS                                                            NAMES
31ea49f88d41   mysql:latest   "docker-entrypoint.s…"   6 seconds ago   Up 5 seconds   3306/tcp, 33060/tcp, 0.0.0.0:3606->3606/tcp, :::3606->3606/tcp   mysql_con

Enter in MySQL Container

# docker exec -it 31ea49f88d41 bash
# mysql -u root -p

Step-2.1 (Deploy MySQL/MariaDB on Base Machine )

# yum install mariadb-server mariadb -y
# systemctl start mariadb.service   &&  systemctl enable mariadb.service
# mysql_secure_installation
# mysql -u root -p

Step-3 (Create a Database.)

Now we are going to create a new MySQL database inside MySQL container and show database.

bash-4.4# mysql --version
mysql  Ver 8.2.0 for Linux on x86_64 (MySQL Community Server - GPL)

bash-4.4# mysql -u root -p
Enter password: 
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 8
Server version: 8.2.0 MySQL Community Server - GPL

Show how many databases have already been created in MySQL.

mysql> show databases ;
+--------------------+
| Database           |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| mysql              |
| performance_schema |
| sys                |
+--------------------+
4 rows in set (0.01 sec)

Here only four databases are present. So first we create our database named "wordpress".

mysql> CREATE DATABASE wordpress;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

Now we will use this newly created database, so enter it into "WORDPRESS" database. After this, we will create a table "authors" and insert some table data.

mysql> USE wordpress;
Database changed

mysql>   CREATE TABLE authors (id INT, name VARCHAR(20), email VARCHAR(20));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)

mysql> INSERT INTO authors (id,name,email) VALUES(1,"Vivek","xuz@abc.com");
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.03 sec)

mysql> INSERT INTO authors (id,name,email) VALUES(2,"Priya","p@gmail.com");
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> INSERT INTO authors (id,name,email) VALUES(3,"Tom","tom@yahoo.com");
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> INSERT INTO authors (id,name,email) VALUES(4,"Jerry","jerry@yahoo.com");
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

We can see we have created a new table in "wordpress" database. We can describe this table using the below MySQL query.

mysql> SHOW TABLES;
+---------------------+
| Tables_in_wordpress |
+---------------------+
| authors             |
+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

mysql> DESCRIBE authors;
+-------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type        | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| id    | int         | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
| name  | varchar(20) | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
| email | varchar(20) | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
+-------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

As we can see inserted table data, there are four records in this table.

mysql> SELECT * FROM authors;
+------+-------+-----------------+
| id   | name  | email           |
+------+-------+-----------------+
|    1 | Vivek | xuz@abc.com     |
|    2 | Priya | p@gmail.com     |
|    3 | Tom   | tom@yahoo.com   |
|    4 | Jerry | jerry@yahoo.com |
+------+-------+-----------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Step-3.1 (User Create and grant permission to access database)

Creating a new user "rakesh" and assigned password to access the database from localhost 'rakesh'@'localhost'.

mysql> CREATE USER 'rakesh'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)

💡

Note 3.1.1: If you want to access the database from anywhere by user "rakesh".

mysql> CREATE USER 'rakesh'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)

💡

Note 3.1.2: In Case to drop a created user.

mysql> DROP USER 'rakesh'@'%';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.05 sec)

mysql> DROP USER 'rakesh'@'localhost';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.05 sec)

💡

Note 3.1.3: Grant access authorization on specific database and there all tables at once. and access through the localhost server (Where the actual mysql server is running).

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON WORDPRESS.* TO 'rakesh'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
Query OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.00 sec)

mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

💡

Note 3.1.4: If you want to give authorization access to all databases and their tables . at once, and access from anywhere using user rakesh 'rakesh'@'%'. You can try this.

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'rakesh'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
Query OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.00 sec)

mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

If you want to check, which database is assigned to which user .

💡

Note 3.1.5: There is a special pre-configured database named "mysql" inside MySQL. That has overall databases user credentials and much more information. Here You can check "rakesh" user is authorized to access the "WORDPRESS" database.

mysql> show databases;
mysql> use mysql;
mysql> show tables;
mysql> select Host, User from user;
+-----------+------------------+
| Host      | User             |
+-----------+------------------+
| %         | root             |
| localhost | mysql.infoschema |
| localhost | mysql.session    |
| localhost | mysql.sys        |
| localhost | root             |
| localhost | rakesh           |
+-----------+------------------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)

💡

Note 3.1.6: Login with new user rakesh and check whether this is authenticated and authorized to access the database from localhost.

bash-4.4# mysql -u rakesh -p
Enter password:

|    4 | Jerry | jerry@yahoo.com |
+------+-------+-----------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

💡

Note 3.1.7: If you faced such error to access using user rakesh "ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)"

bash-4.4# mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
bash-4.4#
--------- Make entry of container_ip with localhost in hosts file
bash-4.4# cat /etc/hosts
bash-4.4# echo "<container_ip>    localhost" >> /etc/hosts
--------- Now try with same login 
bash-4.4# mysql -u rakesh -p
Enter password:

Step-4 (Create a backup of MySQL database.)

💡

Note 4.1: Make sure you are not inside of any database, and you are on a container shell, and you give enough privileges to your user to take backup. check notes point: Note: 3.1.4

bash-4.4# mysqldump -u rakesh -p wordpress > /var/lib/mysql/mysql_backup.sql
Enter password:
bash-4.4# ls -l /var/lib/mysql

bash-4.4# cat /var/lib/mysql/mysql_backup.sql

Step-4.1 (Create recursive backup automatically and send it onto a different server using rsync.)

The backup of the WordPress database was created from a Docker container named mysql_con, using the user named rakesh. This backup was stored at the location /var/lib/mysql. This location is where MySQL stores various types of configuration files and important data.

Additionally, this specific location (/var/lib/mysql) is connected to a directory in the BaseOS system named /vol/mysql_data. This connection was established when we attached it using the -v option in Docker. So we will create a cronjob with user rakesh on BaseOS, where docker is running. (or you can create a cronjob inside the docker container as well)

💡

Note 4.1.1: If you are working on a docker mysql container, try this.

If you are working on a docker container. Create a .my.cnf file inside your docker mysql_con container with the following configuration (Then you don't need to reveal your username and password each time).

bash-4.4# vi ~/.my.cnf

[client]
user=username
password=yourpass

:wq!

Then come to BaseOS, and create a script file.

[root@localhost ~]# vi /root/script.sh
#!/bin/bash

mysqldump wordpress > /var/lib/mysql/mysql_backup.sql

:wq!

💡

Then create a crontab file to schedule cronjob to take backup every 15 minutes.

[root@localhost ~]# crontab -e  -u  root 
*/15    *       *       *       *       docker exec mysql_con /bin/bash /root/script.sh   
*/16    *       *       *       *       rsync -avz /var/lib/mysql/mysql_backup.sql /root/mysql_backup

Don't forgot to restart crond service for crontab jobs.

oot@localhost ~]# systemctl restart crond

💡

Note: You can check updated backup and there timestamp

[root@localhost mysql_data]# ls -al /root/mysql_backup
total 8
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root   30 Nov 22 11:53 .
dr-xr-x---. 15 root root 4096 Nov 22 11:55 ..
-rw-r--r--.  1 root root 1273 Nov 22 11:13 mysql_backup.sql

💡

Note: If you want to send a backup from the MySQL Host Server to another server, you can set "rsync" between two different servers.

Step-5 (Restore backup of MySQL database.)

💡

Make sure you are on container bash, not inside the MySQL database.

bash-4.4#  mysql wordpress < /var/lib/mysql/mysql_backup.sql

Some MySQL Interview Questions :

💡

Here we will discuss some most important MySQL-related questions.

Question-1 How to reset MySQL root password?

Step-1: Suppose your MySQL database server is running on local machine. So first stop the MySQL server service.
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl status mysql
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl stop mysql
Step-2: Find mysqld process id and kill it using kill -9 pid_mysqld or kill -19 pid_mysqld.
[root@localhost ~]# top
[root@localhost ~]# kill -9 25691
[root@localhost ~]# kill -19 25691

----------- Check using top command, whether it is mysqld process is still running or not
[root@localhost ~]# top
Step-3: Run mysql in safe mode

Question-2 What is the main difference between DROP, DELETE & TRUNCATE commands in MySQL Query?

Suppose You have a database "earth" and there is some table inside it like "continents, oceans, animals, humans, birds". Now you want to remove some records from the database, tables, records & databases etc. These things can be implemented by DROP, DELETE, and TRUNCATE Query commands.
DROP = Data + Structure of Table will be removed. (Ex: complete Table, Database).
  DROP table <table_name>;
  DROP database <database_name>;
DELETE = Only the data part will be removed and no sequence will be changed for the next record. (No counter will be reset. (Ex- ~~1,2,3,4,5~~ ) and then (6,7,8,9,10 ...)
  DELETE FROM table_name WHERE condition;
TRUNCATE = All rows/records will be deleted (remove) and sequence (Counter) will be reset. (Ex- ~~1,2,3,4,5~~ ) and then (1,2,3,4,5,6,7 ...)
  TRUNCATE table <table_name>;

Question-3 How to assign "CREATE, ALTER, DROP, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE and SELECT " grant permissions to a user Rakesh on wordpress database, which can access the database from localhost and anywhere?

Note-3.1: First, if you don't have any users, you create the user and then grant the permissions. To GRANT ALL privileges to a user, allowing that user full control over a specific database, use the following syntax:

mysql> CREATE USER 'Rakesh'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)

------------------------------------------------------------
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.* TO 'Rakesh'@'%';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.table_name TO 'Rakesh'@'localhost';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)

Note-3.2: Specific Grant permissions to user Rakesh on database wordpress to access from localhost and anywhere.

mysql> GRANT CREATE, ALTER, DROP, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, SELECT, REFERENCES, RELOAD on wordpress.* TO 'Rakesh'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;  
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)


mysql> GRANT CREATE, ALTER, DROP, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, SELECT, REFERENCES, RELOAD on wordpress.table_name TO 'Rakesh'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;  
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)

Question-4 We have two users Rakesh & Anjali, and Two databases College & School as well. Now how will you Assign the College database to access user Anjali with specific IP 192.175.23.10, and the School database with user Rakesh with access from anywhere?

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON
    -> College.* TO 'Anjali'@'192.175.23.10'
    -> WITH GRANT OPTION;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON
    -> School.* TO 'Rakesh'@'%'
    -> WITH GRANT OPTION;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
mysql> USE mysql;
Database changed
mysql> SELECT User, Host
    -> FROM user;

+------------------+------------+
| User             | Host       |

+--------------------+
| College            |
| information_schema |
| performance_schema |
+--------------------+

Question-5 How we can know user (Ex:- Rakesh) access on a specific host?

There is a pre-existing 'mysql' database within the MySQL server, specifically designed to store all the system's internal configurations, user accounts, privileges, and other crucial system-related information.

bash-4.4# mysql -u root -p
Enter password:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Question-6 How to remove a user from the MySQL database?

To remove a user from the database, you have to be login from root login.

bash-4.4# mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
mysql> select User, Host from user;
+------------------+------------+
| User             | Host       |
+------------------+------------+
| Anjali           | %          |
| Rakesh           | %          |
| root             | %          |
| Sita             | 172.17.0.2 |
| mysql.infoschema | localhost  |
| mysql.session    | localhost  |
| mysql.sys        | localhost  |
| root             | localhost  |
+------------------+------------+
8 rows in set (0.00 sec)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
mysql> DROP USER 'Rakesh'@'%';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

Question-7 What is the use of "FLUSH PRIVILEGES" command in MySQL database?

Executing FLUSH PRIVILEGES tells the MySQL server to discard the current in-memory privileges and reload the grant tables, ensuring that any recent modifications to user privileges or access rights take effect immediately without requiring a server restart.

It's important to note that in modern versions of MySQL, many privilege-related changes automatically take effect without explicitly running FLUSH PRIVILEGES. However, there are specific scenarios where executing this command might be necessary to ensure immediate application of privilege changes, especially after directly modifying the grant tables.

Question-8 Give Anjali user grant permission to access only the oceans table in the earth database.

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON
    -> earth.oceans TO 'Anjali'@'%'
    -> WITH GRANT OPTION;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

Question-9 What is the format to write date datatype in MySQL & Oracle?

In Oracle : DD-MM-YYYY

In MySQL: YYYY-MM-DD
