Docker-airflow: Can't connect to MySQL via local socket

[bobcolner]

Hi, great progress on packaging airflow as containers, thanks!

After pulling and building the latest version of the docker images I'm still not able to access the data-profiling features. For ad-hoc queries and charts I'm getting this error:

(2002, "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)")

Any advise?

Hi,

Two things :

• Go to Admin -> Connections and Edit "mysql_default" set this values :
• host : mysql
• Schema : airflow
• Login : airflow
• Password : airflow

Then Save and continue.

• Go back to Ad Hoc Query, select "mysql_default" in the list and run your query.
