Backup doesn't work?

[vitaliatklood]

Hi, Not really sure what happened but just run the docker run to install it, went into the container and run ./backup and got this:

bash-4.3# ./backup
Unknown suffix '-' used for variable 'port' (value '-u')
mysqldump: Error while setting value '-u' to 'port'

Aha, for some reason MYSQL_PORT wasn't set. So I did export MYSQL_PORT="3306" but not sure if that will permanently fix it.

Now currently dealing with mysqldump: Got error: 2002: "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)" when trying to connect and mysqldump: Got error: 2003: "Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (111)" when trying to connect

Doesn't seem like localhost or 127.0.0.1 are working.

@vitaliatklood in Docker container localhost or 127.0.0.1 link to yourself and mysql server did not run there. I think you must set some hostname where mysql is running (name of container or service in docker compose).
