I tried onrun but this is not working .
i am building the first image but pulling the second image from the docker hub.
kindly help in how to execute the following command after the docker-compose up

Answer 1

There is nothing like onrun in docker-compose. It will only bring up the containers and execute the command. Now you have few possible options
Use mysql Image Initialization
mysql:
image: mysql:latest
environment:
- MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root
- MYSQL_DATABASE=test
volumes:
- ./dummy1.sql:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/dummy1.sql
ports:
- "3306:3306"
You may your sql files inside /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d inside the container
Use bash script
docker-compose up -d
# Give some time for mysql to get up
sleep 20
docker-compose exec mysql mysql -uroot -proot test <dummy1.sql
Use another docker service to initialize the DB
version: "2"
services:
web:
build: docker
ports:
- "8080:8080"
environment:
- MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root
mysql:
image: mysql:latest
environment:
- MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root
- MYSQL_DATABASE=test
ports:
- "3306:3306"
mysqlinit:
image: mysql:latest
volumes:
- ./dummy1.sql:/dump/dummy1.sql
command: bash -c "sleep 20 && mysql -h mysql -uroot -proot test < /dump/dummy1.sql"
You run another service which will init the DB for you, like mysqlinit in the above one

Answer 2

When a container is started for the first time, a new database with the specified name will be created and initialized with the provided configuration variables. Furthermore, it will execute files with extensions .sh, .sql and .sql.gz that are found in /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d. Files will be executed in alphabetical order.
From https://hub.docker.com/_/mysql/
That is the convenient way how many databases (postgresql, mysql, ...) are initializing themselves on container-creation. You should create a *.sql / *.sh file and bind it via volume into the new container:
db:
image: mysql:latest
volumes:
- ./db/entrypoint:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d
environment:
- MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=iamgroot
- MYSQL_DATABASE=gotg
This loads all your sql / sh files into the container which are then automatically executed.
