[SOLVED] Error: Installing and using Mariadb on Docker

Issue

I am running this command:

docker run --net mynet --ip IP -p 3306:3306 --mount source=database,target=/var/lib/mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=XXXX mariadb:10.5.17 

I get the following error:

Unknown/unsupported storage engine: InnoDB

When I google, I find that I have to remove certain log files and run the following commands:

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/mysql/ib_logfile*   

And then retry, but I get the same error repeatedly. Does anyone have a clue what am I missing here?

Solution

docker volume rm database

You need to also delete the volume on the host. Otherwise everytime you restart the container it will pickup an existing setup.
