Docker environment of Baota panel AnQiCMS MySQL database configuration guide

AnQiCMS as an enterprise-level content management system developed based on the Go language, with its high efficiency, customizable and easy to expand features, is favored by small and medium-sized enterprises and content operation teams.Deployed through the Docker container technology of Baota panel, it can greatly enhance the convenience of installation and maintenance.In this process, the configuration of the MySQL database is a frequently concerned focus for users, especially in the Docker isolation environment. How to ensure that AnQiCMS can correctly connect and use the database service is a key knowledge that needs to be clearly mastered.

Prepare and install MySQL database

Before starting the deployment of AnQiCMS, we first need to install and configure the MySQL database in the Docker environment of Baota panel.This process is relatively intuitive, the Baota panel provides a graphical operation interface.

You need to log in to your Baota panel, and find and click the "Docker" option in the left menu.If this is your first time using Docker, the system may prompt you to install the Docker engine. Please follow the prompts to complete the installation.

After installing Docker Engine, you can find "mysql" and install it by searching in the "App Store" of the Docker interface.When installing MySQL, the system will provide different versions for you to choose from.If your server memory is less than 2GB, it is recommended to choose MySQL 5.6 version to optimize resource usage; for servers with ample memory, MySQL 5.7 version is usually the default and recommended choice.In this installation step, make sure to check the 'Allow External Access' option (usually checked by default), which is the basis for AnQiCMS container to connect to the MySQL container.

MySQL installation is complete, you can find the installed MySQL service in the Docker container list.Click the "Details" link next to the MySQL container, where the root user password for MySQL will be displayed.Please make sure to copy and keep this root password safely, as it will be repeatedly used during the installation process of AnQiCMS and is the key credential for connecting to the database.

Configure the database parameters during AnQiCMS installation

Completed the preparation of MySQL, and then we will enter the Docker installation process of AnQiCMS, with a focus on the configuration of database parameters.

Similarly, in the Docker interface of the Baota panel, switch to "App StoreIn the installation and configuration interface of AnQiCMS, you will see a series of parameters that need to be filled in, the most important of which is the information related to the database.

The database name is first. The default database name for AnQiCMS isanqicms.If you plan to deploy multiple AnQiCMS sites on the same server, it is strongly recommended to set a unique database name for each AnQiCMS instance to avoid data conflicts and management chaos.anqicms_testor name it according to your domain, such asyourdomain_com_anqicms.

Then is the “database password”.Here is the password that you obtained and saved as the root user password when you installed the MySQL container earlier.Please ensure that the password is accurately pasted into this input box.Correctly inputting the MySQL root password is the core prerequisite for AnQiCMS container to establish a connection with the MySQL container, create database tables, and store data.

Regarding other parameters, such as "website domain" and "port" (default 8001), you can configure them according to your actual needs.These parameters mainly affect the access method and external visibility of AnQiCMS, but for database connection, the accuracy of the database name and password is still the most critical.

Click 'OK' to complete the installation of AnQiCMS, and the system will automatically complete the creation and deployment of the AnQiCMS container in the background.This process may take a few minutes, please be patient.

Complete the installation and subsequent operations

When the AnQiCMS container is successfully deployed, you can access the domain name or IP address you configured during installation via the browser.On the first visit, AnQiCMS will guide you through the initial installation process, including setting up the administrator account and password.Since you have provided the correct MySQL database information during the installation of AnQiCMS in Docker, this step will proceed smoothly. AnQiCMS will automatically connect to the specified MySQL database and complete all necessary database table structure creation.

Properly configuring the MySQL database is the cornerstone for the stable operation of the AnQiCMS system.It not only guarantees the storage and management of the content, but also lays a solid foundation for the expansion of the system and the deployment of multi-site.By following these steps, you should be able to clearly and accurately configure the MySQL database for AnQiCMS in the Baota panel Docker environment.
