I am working in a Dockerfile but there is a "secure" MariaDB server script I need to run which is interactive and I don't know how to deal with this. Basically this is the flow I have follow on the script at test environment and is the same I want to achieve in the Dockerfile without user interaction by just answering as you seen on the flow below: # /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation Enter current password for root (enter for none): [ENTER] // because there is no password OK, successfully used password, moving on... Set root password? [Y/n] n ... skipping. Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] Y ... Success! Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] n ... skipping. Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] Y - Dropping test database... ... Success! - Removing privileges on test database... ... Success! Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far will take effect immediately. Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] Y ... Success! Cleaning up... So I need to write a bash script or something else that could handle this automatically but has not idea, how would you take care of this?
