Received SHUTDOWN from user root. Shutting down mysqld

General
1

My MySQL error log received this command, but I did not issue it. The result is that even though I am mounted on a data volume in my host directory, the database I previously established is missing, but the error log does not have any other information
[MY-013172] [Server] Received SHUTDOWN from user root. Shutting down mysqld (Version: 8.0.32).

I removed your double post regarding the same topic.

If you want us to be able to help you, will need to see the compose file used to create the container, or the docker run command that was used to create the container. Furthermore, please attach a log output that allows to understand more about the situation.

I ran into the same issue. Mysql container starts normally and works some time, but then suddenly stops and after restart does not see the database. I am using two different kinds of Digital Ocean droplets:

  • 2 cpu cores + 8 Gb memory
  • 2 cpu cores + 4 Gb memory

On htop I can see mysql uses ~600 Mb memory and around 5% cpu. There is enough disk space (greater than 10 Gb) on each machine.
DB itself is nothing unusual: ~30 tables, the biggest one has up to 1 million records. DB takes 1.5 Gb space on the disk drive.

On the node with 8 Gb memory mysql could work up to 5-7 days before it crashes. On the 4 Gb node I saw it stop working overnight.

My best guess is that mysql at some point needs all the memory on the node and a bit more. Swap is turned off on DO droplets. But on the logs there is nothing about the lack of memory, it just says “Received SHUTDOWN from user root.”

Here is docker-compose.yml I am using:

services:
  wu-mysql:
    image: mysql
    container_name: wu-mysql
    ports:
      - "3306:3306"
    expose:
      - "3306"
    environment:
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=wudb
      - MYSQL_USER=dev
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=******
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=*******
    volumes:
      - ./sql:/sql
      - ./data:/var/lib/mysql

Here are the logs from the container after it stops:

Does anyone has a solution to this? Since I am experiencing the same issue at the moment!

What I noticed in my case is that I changed the credentials for my user and also for the root in the .env files (root still had the password root) but after I build the app again I was using the old volume with the old credentials. No I deleted the volume built everything again and used a mysqldump to populate the database. Hopefully this will resolve my issue!

I am suffering the same issue, and my compose.yaml file was pretty much like yours, here’s something my friends told me, and I am still doing the experiments, cant give you a confirmed answer:

  1. ours mysql containers might be undergoing malicious attacks by other people or programs
  2. the reason they successfully attacked us is because we exposed mysql container to the public network by ports in compose.yaml
  3. try: remove ports and expose, and change passwords of mysql and droplet with a way way way safer ones, like 18 digits or even longer

like I said, I am still doing the tests with 1g and 2g RAM droplets running, as long as my data don’t lose or my servers don’t go down, then I think this might be the cause
