Solved cli: change mysql root password

[root_iam]

hi,

I reset the mysql root password on the cli because I mysql wasn't starting again some day and I couldn't access it per cli...
Now the box is not starting anymore because of the wrong mysql root password.

Where can I change this?

Thanks a lot!!

@root_iam The mysql root password must be set to password (sic). If you reset the mysql password back to that, the box code will work. Note that since the mysql server is only internal and listens only on loopback this is not a security issue. There is no need to change the default password.

I think this is bad practice. You should generate a password instead on first startup.

mm, this is for the internal mysql server and not the one used for the apps. apps have their own mysql server for which password is indeed auto-generated. the internal mysql server is not accessible by apps either.

Thanks that worked!

Now I cannot reconfigure the ttrss app. The error is the following:
"Error setting up mysql: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 172.18.0.6:3000 RepairLogsClose"

netstat -tlnp show following for mysql:
"tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1914/mysqld "

Was there a recent port change? What is the recommended way to fix this? Which port is correct for cloudron?

Thanks!

@root_iam That's great! Can you give the mysql service a restart? services -> mysql -> restart.

3000 is the port in which the mysql service API runs. 3306 is the actual mysql service itself. It seems that for some reason the box code is unable to reach the mysql service.

If it doesn't work, can you check if docker inspect -f "{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}" mysql prints the IP above (i.e 172.18.0.6).

[root_iam]

The service is hanging after every reboot. It never changes the state...
The restart arrows are circling al the time.

The output was the following:
florian@my:~$ sudo docker inspect -f "{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}" mysql

Thanks for ypur help!

So the docker command you ran did not print out the ip address?

Besides that if the mysql status never reaches a good state (green) then it probably won't even start up. Can you take a look at the logs? (you can see them clicking on the logs button for the mysql service)

[girish]

I think if mysql container is not running then the inspect command does not print anything.

If we can see the mysql logs that will help.

Is this still an issue? Otherwise I will close this thread.
