Cannot build new mysql 5.7 container

[99kennetn]

So i have to run a container with a mysql 5.7 database. But whenever i try to start it, it fills both my memory and my swp file within seconds until the kernel kills it.
It is not an issue with the 8 version but it is not possible for me to upgrade to that for the time being.

When trying to run or build the continer in docker-compose up i get the following error:

Attaching to test-database-1
test-database-1  | 2023-02-23 12:06:02+00:00 [Note] [Entrypoint]: Entrypoint script for MySQL Server 5.7.41-1.el7 started.

test-database-1  | 
test-database-1 exited with code 1

and the journalctl gives the following error:

I have tried uninstalling both docker-compose and docker, removed all my containers, cleared all caches, build without cache and pruned all containers in docker.

I am using Docker version 23.0.1
Docker Compose version 2.16.0
and
DISTRIB_ID=ManjaroLinux
DISTRIB_RELEASE=22.0.4
DISTRIB_CODENAME=Sikaris
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Manjaro Linux"

The above information is every error i have been able to find related to the problem.

This bug is making it almost impossible to do my job, so i hope someone can help me to get it to work.

Something as simple as running just

docker run mysql:5.7

creates the error.
I tested it on another manjro installation and on the steam deck and no problem was found there.

I cannot wait, so unforturnelty i have to reinstall my system as i cannot wait for the issue to be solved.

A shot in the dark, but sounds like a duplicate of #579; perhaps setting some ulimits would work?

• Really high memory usage #579 (comment)
• docker run -it --rm --ulimit nofile=[soft]:[hard] mysql:5.7

Unfortunately, we do not have the bandwidth to provide in-depth integration/deployment/environment debugging or support here; these sorts of questions/requests would be more appropriately posted to a dedicated support forum, such as the Docker Community Slack, Server Fault, Unix & Linux, or Stack Overflow.
