从docker hub拉取的MySQL官方docker镜像，启动MySQL容器后，执行select now()语句，发现显示的时间与我宿主机的时间不一致且相差8小时。显然，需要重置MySQL的时区，将时区设置与宿主机保持一致，即东八区。

如何为MySQL设置时区？

MySQL 5.7官方文档中提到了多种设置时区的方案，我们这里仅关注配置文件（MySQL官方称之为Option Files）的方案。

配置文件中修改时区

  • 配置项default-time-zone及取值 依据文档可以通过在配置文件中增加default-time-zone=‘timezone’的配置项来修改时区。配置值的取值遵循以下规则：

    • The value ‘SYSTEM’ indicates that the time zone should be the same as the system time zone.

    • The value can be given as a string indicating an offset from UTC, such as ‘+10:00’ or ‘-6:00’.

    • The value can be given as a named time zone, such as ‘Europe/Helsinki’, ‘US/Eastern’, or ‘MET’. Named time zones can be used only if the time zone information tables in the mysql database have been created and populated.

    我们选择第二种方式，通过UTC的偏移量来表示东八区，+8:00意味着在零时区的基础上往东偏移8个时区。

  • group 官方文档中描述了配置文件的语法，包括注释、组、选项名、选项值等。其中组（group）是与我们当前遇到的问题息息相关的东西。配置项需要放置在正确的group下，官方表述如下：

    If an option group name is the same as a program name, options in the group apply specifically to that program. For example, the [mysqld] and [mysql] groups apply to the mysqld server and the mysql client program, respectively.

由于配置项default-time-zone是为了让MySQL Server调整默认时区，并结合上面有关group的表述，不难得出一个结论：default-time-zone配置项应该放置在名为[mysqld]的group下。

[mysqld]
default-time_zone = '+8:00'

配置文件位置

既然已经明确了通过修改配置文件来达到重置MySQL时区的目的，那么修改后的配置文件放哪儿呢？这是首先面临的一个问题。好在MySQL官方文档中已经告诉我们配置文件的读取顺序。

File Name Purpose
/etc/my.cnf Global options
/etc/mysql/my.cnf Global options
SYSCONFDIR/my.cnf Global options
$MYSQL_HOME/my.cnf Server-specific options (server only)
defaults-extra-file The file specified with --defaults-extra-file
~/.my.cnf User-specific options
~/.mylogin.cnf User-specific login path options (clients only)

再尝试查看MySQL的docker容器中的配置文件，docker run –rm mysql:5.7 cat /etc/mysql/my.cnf，我们看到了容器中的配置文件内容如下：

!includedir /etc/mysql/conf.d/
!includedir /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/

这下这个疑问终于有了答案，我们可以将自定义的配置文件想办法放入容器中的/etc/mysql/conf.d/目录（放在/etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/目录当然也同样OK）。

注意：在*nix系统下使用!includedir指令指定的配置文件目录下的配置文件扩展名必须是.cnf，在Windows系统下的扩展名可以是.ini或者.cnf。

启动MySQL容器

$ docker run  -d --name mysql5.7 \
    -v /Users/voidint/dockerV/mysql/5.7/conf:/etc/mysql/conf.d \
    -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD='abc#123' \
    -p 3306:3306\
    mysql:5.7

参考MySQL官方docker镜像的说明，我们将上面步骤准备好的MySQL配置文件放置在/Users/voidint/dockerV/mysql/5.7/conf目录下，并通过docker -v选项将宿主机上的配置文件目录挂载到容器中的/etc/mysql/conf.d目录。这样在容器启动时就能读取到我们自定义的配置文件，时区配置也就生效了。

容器启动后，通过MySQL客户端连接上MySQL，再次执行select now()语句以验证MySQL的时区是否与宿主机时区保持一致。
