Getting 'bash: mysql: command not found' error in docker

In docker container running mysql commands results in a

bash: mysql: command not found error

mysql --version, or any mysql command; same issue.

Adding mysql-client did not help. Suggestions about adding default-libmysqlclient-dev

apt-get install --no-install-recommends -y default-libmysqlclient-dev

Still no able to run mysql.

This helped.

For newer MariaDB container versions, the mysql executable does not exist any more. Replace mysql with mariadb to fix the issue, for example:

https://techoverflow.net/2023/07/13/how-to-fix-docker-mariadb-mysql-executable-file-not-found-in-path-unknown/

All info online states mysql in command. For mariadb image it is maridb for any command eg.

docker-compose exec -T mariadb mariadb -uroot -p

Note for the client not installed, mariadb image has it

using this to test:

mariadb --version

Shows client present

mariadb from 11.3.2-MariaDB, client 15.2 for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using  EditLine wrapper
