Separate mysql socket of mysql data about docker-xampp HOT 1 CLOSED

Hello! I have to retreat of my previews issue, because really isn't a problem have the socket on the same folder than the db-data.

So, if you want to use... for example a bind mount,, OK is correct separate the socket and pid from the data it self, but that has the drawback that on mount time the current populated data on the container will by overwriten with the data of the host. And well if you mount a empty folder your database will start empty, that give to you problems because the basic data structure of mysql will be unexistent and with that the database will doesn't work.

This can be util only when you have a existing database data on your host machine and you want to use it directly on the container.

But, well. for a default behavior for have a persistent database on time, you just need to have a named volume mounted on /opt/lampp/var/mysql

example:

docker run -v "db:/opt/lampp/var/mysql" -v "/var/www:/opt/lampp/htdocs/www" -p "8080:80" tomsik68/xampp

And this will work.

If you destroy your container and next restart it. or start a different instanse of it but mounting the same named volume (db) all your old data will keep and still works.

Could be cool put this information on the readme :-)

Thanks.
