Connector-Python

Uses a CentOS 7 base image to deploy a container with MariaDB Connector/Python installed and ready to use.

Dependencies

• Docker Engine
• docker-compose

Install and Run

Open a terminal with docker-compose installed, change directory into where you downloaded/extracted the code, then run-

docker-compose up;

Run your Code

Add your Python code files to the my_python_code directory. These will appear at /root/my_python_code/ in the container. Note the repository comes with test.py by default.

Get a shell to the container with-

docker exec -it connector-python bash

You can then run your Python code like-

python3 /root/my_python_code/test.py

Where /root/my_python_code/test.py is replaced with the path to your Python code file.

Connecting to MariaDB

The container only provides connector infrastructure, it does not provide a running MariaDB server. Reference Connector/Python documentation to learn how to specify parameters to open a connection to a remote MariaDB server.

test.py

Edit docker-compose.yml environment entries to change connection parameters test.py script uses.
