I'm using a mariadb container:
image: mariadb:10.5.8
While in the container and in a mysql
session I'm trying to set:
pager less -SFX
When I run:
select * from sometable;
I get
sh: 1: less: not found
The reason I want to set pager less -SFX
is so that the terminal output table would format correctly. How do I install less
in this container?
If you only need less
in the interactive session you can simply install it with apt
before entering mysql
:
apt update && apt install less
If you want less
to be always installed and available you need to create a new docker image based on the mariadb
image where you add less
:
# images/Dockerfile
FROM mariadb:10.5.8
RUN apt update && apt install -y less
And to use it replace the image
property in your docker-compose.yml
with
build: ./images/
