[Solved] (Mysql8) Error when running pydio/cells docker: "failed to initialize storage: failed to open migrations: creating dex_migration table: Error 1193: Unknown system variable 'tx_isolation'"

I am running the pydio/cells docker container on an EC2 in AWS. The database is an Amazon RDS/Aurora database with MySQL 8 compatibility.

When I run the docker container, the initialization process seems to be OK - and checking the MySQL database, I can see that it has created tables.

The log is:

 $ docker-compose -f docker-compose-pydio.yaml up

Any ideas what might be going on?

Thanks,

Hi Martin,

the problem are are changes made in MySQL 5.7 and 8 - ‘tx_isolation’ has been depreciated in 5.7.20 and an alias has been added called 'transaction_isolation. In MySQL 8 tx_isolation has been removed entirely leaving the former alias.

The means that cells will not run with MySQL 8 currently. Code changes are needed to allow both, pre 5.7.20 (tx_isolation) and 5.7.20 and later (transaction_isolation). It should however not be a big task I guess, as this variable is rarely used. An option would be by to use the “set transaction” statement instead of setting the isolation level as connection parameter. “set transaction” is supported in all versions and will not cause compatibility issues - it will, however, add a slight overhead due to the additional statement needed.

Does Amazon RDS allow to change the MySQL compatibility mode to 5.7? If so, this should solve your issues for now.

I guess I have found a solution (@Charles, I added a PR for a possibe fix).

Hi,
as John pointed it out, it might be related to mysql 8, for the time being we are not compatible with mysql 8.
thanks again @falk.john for the help.

Sorry for the delay - I was on holiday the last week. I’ve now had time to switch to MySQL 5.6 and cells start up correctly.

Thanks for your help!
