Environment Variables

MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD specifies MariaDB root password

Container Image Size

Clear Linux enables the AVX2 instructions compile in default for many applications, including mariadb. With the two sets of binaries/libraries as below, this mariadb in Clear Linux can automatically and dynamically choose corresponding set to support different IA platforms.

SSE:

/usr/bin/mariadb
/usr/bin/mariadb-access
/usr/bin/mariadb-admin
/usr/bin/mariadb-backup
...
/usr/bin/mysql
/usr/bin/mysql_client_test
/usr/bin/mysql_config
...
/usr/lib64/libmariadb.so
/usr/lib64/libmariadbd.so
/usr/lib64/libmariadbd.so.19
...

AVX/AVX2:

/usr/bin/haswell/mariadb
/usr/bin/haswell/mariadb-admin
/usr/bin/haswell/mariadb-backup
/usr/bin/haswell/mariadb-binlog
...
/usr/bin/haswell/mysql
/usr/bin/haswell/mysql_client_test
/usr/bin/haswell/mysql_ldb
...
/usr/lib64/haswell/libmariadb.so
/usr/lib64/haswell/libmariadbd.so
/usr/lib64/haswell/libmariadbd.so.19
...

The side effect is the size of the container image is bigger because of two sets binary included. For some size sensitive scenario, user can select the right binary only.
