Troubleshooting Minikube Deployment Errors for MySQL

In this guide, we'll tackle a common issue developers face when attempting to deploy MySQL in a Minikube cluster. If you've recently found yourself scratching your head over why the MySQL image isn't pulling from Docker Hub when deploying on your Ubuntu environment, you're not alone. Let's break down the problem and provide you with a clear solution.

The Problem: Deployment Fails with Image Pull Error

While trying to deploy MySQL, you may encounter an image pull failure, making it impossible to get your database up and running. Here’s a snippet of the YAML manifest you might be using:

This error indicates that MySQL requires specific environment variables for initialization, such as a root password or an allowance for an empty password. Let's address this issue by modifying your YAML configuration.

The Solution: Configure Environment Variables

To successfully deploy MySQL in Minikube, you simply need to add the necessary environment variables in your deployment YAML file. Here's what you need to do:

Updated YAML Configuration

Modify your MySQL deployment manifest as follows:
