centos/mariadb container fails to start

[AndybsCTIN]

I've run the docker pull command to get the centos with mariadb image, however when I run the command to create a container from that image the container dosen't seems to work.

First the issue was related to the port 3306 being on use since I already had mysql installed and it was using that port however, after setting it to "inactive" the issue with the port being on use dismissed.

But now , I do not now the reason, when I create a container following the page example:

docker run --name=mariadb -d -p 3306:3306 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD= /mariadb

The container that it creates gets "Exited" Immediately , even if afterwards I run a docker start It gets Exited within 2 seconds.

I ran the container interactively, and when I tried to run

bash -x /docker-entrypoint.sh mysqld

I got this:

+ echo 'Running mysql_install_db ...'
Running mysql_install_db ...
+ mysql_install_db --datadir=/var/lib/mysql
Neither host 'a6ab98f90d96' nor 'localhost' could be looked up with
'/usr/libexec/resolveip'
Please configure the 'hostname' command to return a correct
hostname.
If you want to solve this at a later stage, restart this script
with the --force option

I hope this helps.

I'm not sure how to add the correct hostname

Also the instructions to run the container like this:

docker run --name=mariadb -d -p 3306:3306 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password /mariadb55 true

doesn't make sense, because the docker-entrypoint.sh will simply exec the passed in command, which will exec true which will exit immediately?
