E: Package 'mysql-client' has no installation candidate in php-fpm image build using docker compose
Im fairly new to docker and so im trying to learn more about it using a laravel project, im following this tutorial:
Ive adjusted the Dockerfile a bit from what the tutorial has but even the tutorial file causes the same result.
FROM php:7.3-fpm
# Copy composer.lock and composer.json
COPY composer.lock composer.json /var/www/
# Install dependencies
RUN curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | bash - && \
apt-get update && apt-get install -y mysql-client \
RUN npm install -g npm
# Clear cache
RUN apt-get clean && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
# Install extensions
RUN docker-php-ext-install pdo pdo_mysql
# Install composer
RUN curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
# Add user for laravel application
RUN groupadd -g 1000 www
RUN useradd -u 1000 -ms /bin/bash -g www www
# Copy existing application directory contents
COPY . /var/www
# Copy existing application directory permissions
COPY --chown=www:www . /var/www
# Change current user to www
USER www
# Set working directory
WORKDIR /var/www
# Expose port 9000 and start php-fpm server
EXPOSE 9000
CMD ["php-fpm"]
But i keep getting the following error when i run docker-compose up -d:
E: Package 'mysql-client' has no installation candidate
ERROR: Service 'app' failed to build: The command '/bin/sh -c curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | bash - && apt-get update && apt-get install -y mysql-client nodejs build-essential vim git curl' returned a non-zero code: 100
Am i missing something?
I expected this to work since i am running apt-get update before installing mysql-client.
Thanks.
Answer
php:7.3-fpm now use Debian 10 (Buster) as its base image and Buster ships with MariaDB, so just replace mysql-client with mariadb-client should fix it.
