sphinxsearchHow can I use Sphinxsearch with Docker?


You can use Sphinxsearch with Docker by running a container with the Sphinxsearch image. For example, to start a Sphinxsearch container with port 9312 exposed, you can use the following command:

docker run -d -p 9312:9306 -e MYSQL_HOST=<mysql_host> -e MYSQL_USER=<mysql_user> -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=<mysql_password> sphinxsearch/sphinxsearch

This will start a Sphinxsearch container and expose port 9312.

The command consists of the following parts:

  • docker run: the command to start a container
  • -d: run the container in detached mode
  • -p 9312:9306: expose port 9312 from the container to the host
  • -e MYSQL_HOST=<mysql_host>: set the environment variable MYSQL_HOST to the value of <mysql_host>
  • -e MYSQL_USER=<mysql_user>: set the environment variable MYSQL_USER to the value of <mysql_user>
  • -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=<mysql_password>: set the environment variable MYSQL_PASSWORD to the value of <mysql_password>
  • sphinxsearch/sphinxsearch: the image to use for the container

Once the container is running, you can connect to it using the SphinxQL protocol on port 9312.
