This Image has been Deprecated

Please use the official Docker image for testing MemSQL:

https://hub.docker.com/r/memsql/cluster-in-a-box/

And the official Tutorial for running MemSQL with Docker:

https://docs.singlestore.com/latest/guides/deploy-memsql/self-managed/docker/

Deprecated Example usage

# Pull the image
docker pull memsql/quickstart


# Verify your machine satisfies our minimum requirements
docker run --rm memsql/quickstart check-system


# Spin up a MemSQL cluster on your machine
docker run -d -p 3306:3306 -p 9000:9000 --name=memsql memsql/quickstart


# Run a quick benchmark against MemSQL
docker run --rm -it --link=memsql:memsql memsql/quickstart simple-benchmark


# Open a MemSQL command line shell
docker run --rm -it --link=memsql:memsql memsql/quickstart memsql-shell


# Stop and remove the container
docker stop memsql && docker rm -v memsql

Recommended system settings

It is recommended to run MemSQL and MemSQL Ops with a couple of specific system settings. The full set of settings are documented here: https://docs.memsql.com/tutorials/v5.8/installation-best-practices/

One option is to set the settings when you run the container. For example you can do something like this to setup the recommended sysctl settings:

docker run -d --sysctl net.core.somaxconn=1024 --sysctl vm.min_free_kbytes=2639550 -p 3306:3306 -p 9000:9000 -v memsql:/memsql --name=memsql memsql/quickstart

Persistent data (using Docker volumes)

The image is setup to write all data for the MemSQL nodes into the /memsql directory inside the container. This makes it easy to mount all of the persistent data into a Docker volume. For example, the following command will start a new MemSQL quickstart container and save the data into a Docker named volume called memsql.

docker run -d -p 3306:3306 -p 9000:9000 -v memsql:/memsql --name=memsql memsql/quickstart

If you want to mount any directory on the host machine - the directory first needs to be initialized. You can do this like so:

mkdir /host/data
docker run --rm -v $(pwd)/data:/template memsql/quickstart /bin/bash -c 'cp -r /memsql/* /template && chown -R 1000:1000 /template'

And then you can mount it into the quickstart container over /memsql:

docker run -d -p 3306:3306 -p 9000:9000 -v /host/data:/memsql --name=memsql memsql/quickstart

Custom schema file at start

If you mount a SQL file to /schema.sql inside the container it will be loaded when the cluster is started. Example:

echo "CREATE DATABASE test;" > schema.sql
docker run -d -v $(PWD)/schema.sql:/schema.sql -p 3306:3306 -p 9000:9000 --name=memsql memsql/quickstart

Ignore system requirements check

MemSQL is designed to run on machines with minimum systems requirements. Please read this article to understand how disabling this check could lead to a less ideal experience. If you understand the risk you may disable the check by passing in a IGNORE_MIN_REQUIREMENTS=1 Docker environment variable:

docker run -d -p 3306:3306 -p 9000:9000 --name=memsql -e IGNORE_MIN_REQUIREMENTS=1 memsql/quickstart
