Using Server MySQL Version

1. Pull Nacos Image

To fetch the Nacos Docker image (use the latest version by default, or specify a version like 2.0.3):

docker pull nacos/nacos-server  # Latest version
# Optional: Specify version (e.g., 2.0.3)
# docker pull nacos/nacos-server:2.0.3

2. Set Up MySQL (Skip if Already Installed)

2.1 Pull MySQL Image

docker pull mysql:latest

2.2 Run MySQL Container

docker run -d \
  --name mysql-instance \
  -p 3306:3306 \
  -e TZ=Asia/Shanghai \
  -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=my-secret-pw \
  mysql:latest \
  --character-set-server=utf8mb4 \
  --collation-server=utf8mb4_unicode_ci

2.3 Create Nacos Database and Tables

Connect to the MySQL container and execute the SQL schema (offficial Nacos tables):

docker exec -it mysql-instance mysql -uroot -pmy-secret-pw

Once inside the MySQL shell, run the following (truncated for clarity; full schema includes tables like config_info, tenant_info, etc.):

CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS nacos_config;
USE nacos_config;

-- Table: config_info
CREATE TABLE `config_info` (
  `id` bigint(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT COMMENT 'ID',
  `data_id` varchar(255) NOT NULL COMMENT 'Data ID',
  `group_id` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
  `content` longtext NOT NULL COMMENT 'Content',
  `md5` varchar(32) DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'MD5',
  `gmt_create` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP COMMENT 'Creation Time',
  `gmt_modified` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP COMMENT 'Modification Time',
  `src_user` text COMMENT 'Source User',
  `src_ip` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'Source IP',
  `app_name` varchar(128) DEFAULT NULL,
  `tenant_id` varchar(128) DEFAULT '' COMMENT 'Tenant Field',
  `c_desc` varchar(256) DEFAULT NULL,
  `c_use` varchar(64) DEFAULT NULL,
  `effect` varchar(64) DEFAULT NULL,
  `type` varchar(64) DEFAULT NULL,
  `c_schema` text,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  UNIQUE KEY `uk_configinfo_datagrouptenant` (`data_id`,`group_id`,`tenant_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin COMMENT='Config Info';

-- Additional Nacos tables (config_info_aggr, config_info_beta, etc.) go here

-- User/Role/Permission Tables
CREATE TABLE `users` (
  `username` varchar(50) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
  `password` varchar(500) NOT NULL,
  `enabled` boolean NOT NULL
);

CREATE TABLE `roles` (
  `username` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
  `role` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
  UNIQUE INDEX `idx_user_role` (`username` ASC, `role` ASC) USING BTREE
);

INSERT INTO users (username, password, enabled) VALUES ('nacos', '$2a$10$EuWPZHzz32dJN7jexM34MOeYirDdFAZm2kuWj7VEOJhhZkDrxfvUu', TRUE);
INSERT INTO roles (username, role) VALUES ('nacos', 'ROLE_ADMIN');

3. Create Nacos Configuration/Log Directories

mkdir -p /root/nacos/conf  # Configuration directory
mkdir -p /root/nacos/logs  # Log directory (optional)

4. Configure Nacos application.properties

Edit /root/nacos/conf/application.properties to connect to the MySQL database:

# Nacos Server Settings
server.servlet.contextPath=/nacos
server.port=8848

# MySQL Datasource Configuration
spring.datasource.platform=mysql
db.num=1
db.url=jdbc:mysql://<server-ip>:3306/nacos_config?characterEncoding=utf8&connectTimeout=1000&socketTimeout=3000&autoReconnect=true&useUnicode=true&useSSL=false&serverTimezone=UTC
db.user=root
db.password=my-secret-pw

# Connection Pool (HikariCP)
db.pool.config.connectionTimeout=30000
db.pool.config.validationTimeout=10000
db.pool.config.maximumPoolSize=20
db.pool.config.minimumIdle=2

# Naming/CMDB/Metrics Configurations (truncated)
nacos.naming.empty-service.auto-clean=true
nacos.naming.empty-service.clean.initial-delay-ms=50000
nacos.naming.empty-service.clean.period-time-ms=30000

# ... (other Nacos configurations)

5. Run Nacos Container

docker run --name nacos-server \
  -p 8848:8848 -p 9848:9848 -p 9849:9849 \
  --privileged=true \
  --restart=always \
  -e JVM_XMS=128m \
  -e JVM_XMX=128m \
  -e MODE=standalone \
  -e PREFER_HOST_MODE=hostname \
  -e NACOS_SERVER_IP=<server-ip> \
  -v /root/nacos/logs:/home/nacos/logs \
  -v /root/nacos/conf/application.properties:/home/nacos/conf/application.properties \
  -d \
  nacos/nacos-server

6. Access Nacos Console

Navigate to http://<server-ip>:8848/nacos (default credentials: nacos/nacos).

Without Server MySQL (Embedded Database)

1. Pull Nacos Image

docker pull nacos/nacos-server

2. Run Nacos Container (Standalone Mode)

docker run --name nacos-standalone \
  -p 8848:8848 -p 9848:9848 -p 9849:9849 \
  --privileged=true \
  --restart=always \
  -e JVM_XMS=128m \
  -e JVM_XMX=128m \
  -e MODE=standalone \
  -e PREFER_HOST_MODE=hostname \
  -e NACOS_SERVER_IP=<server-ip> \
  -d \
  nacos/nacos-server

3. Access Nacos Console

Same as above: http://<server-ip>:8848/nacos (credentials: nacos/nacos).
