Initializing the db with a sql file isn't working

[dana-ross]

I tried importing a mysqldump of a WordPress database while migrating a site

cat wprunners.sql | dokku mariadb:create wprunners

Based on the "Advanced usage" instructions in the readme. The database is created fine, but it's empty.

Yes it seems to be broken. Meanwhile, you can do it with a mysql command : mysql -uroot -p<password> -h 172.17.42.1 -P <port> db < myfile.sql

Oh yeah, that works. I was just trying to avoid installing mysql-client (and all its dependencies) on the host.

I noticed the mariadb image has mysql-client (or the mariadb equivalent) installed. I'll see if I can come up with something over the weekend. Could use lxc-attach to run the importer after mysqld was started, but now that Docker supports more than just LXC that's probably not the best way to go.
