cd /var/lib/dokku/plugins
git clone https://github.com/k2nr/dokku-mysql-plugin.git mysql
chmod +x mysql/install mysql/commands
dokku plugins-install
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade lxc-docker
Missing the mysql at the end of the second line of your first code block (so that git can load the repo into the mysql folder):
git clone https://github.com/k2nr/dokku-mysql-plugin.git mysql
When running these commands and attempting to create a new database with:
dokku mysql:create foo
I get this message back:
mysqladmin: Unknown command: 'null'
What’s going on here? Is anything being created?
I’m getting the same error as jdrake30. It prints out “Unknown command: ‘null’”, but the database seems to have been created (I can list it with mysql:info). I can link it as well.
However, it’s Host field is empty. When trying to use it within a Sails.js app, we get connection refused errors. Replacing Host in our config file with 127.0.0.1 (instead of having it blank) doesn’t seem to help. Any clues?
