Can't create a mariadb db, looks like a permission error about dokku-alt

[ayufan]

Does this happen only for delete or also create and link?

[diegoponciano]

@ayufan Also happens for create and link. Is there a way to rebuild the mariadb container?

[ayufan]

Yes it is. Login as root and type:

docker rm -f mariadb_single_container
rm -rf /home/dokku/.mariadb

Then simply execute: mariadb:create and link it to the application.

WARNING. It will completely wipe MySQL databases.

I"d recommend dokku mariadb:dump first.

[ayufan]

Gven current errors mariadb:dump will most likely not work.

I'm thinking about rebuilding a little how dokku-alt use mariadb, because it sometimes gives errors as such.

@ayufan I deleted it using the commands you pointed out, and tried a create. but I'm getting new errors haha:

root@diegoponciano:~# dokku mariadb:create myapp

[ayufan]

Yes, it's definitely bug. Database admin password were not generated on mariadb:create, but on plugins-install. Install dokku-alt-beta and after retyping commands below check if it fixes it for you:

docker rm -f mariadb_single_container
rm -rf /home/dokku/.mariadb

[ayufan]

Did it help it in your case?

[diegoponciano]

@ayufan Yes, I installed dokku-alt-beta, followed the steps above, and could succesfully create a mariadb database.
Thank you!
