Describe pod

kubectl describe pod wordpress-mysql-5fc97c66f7-jx42l

Is there any analogy to docker? How to query mysql?

If I try with exec

kubectl exec -it wordpress-mysql-5fc97c66f7-jx42l -- /bin/bash
root@wordpress-mysql-5fc97c66f7-jx42l:/# mysql
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

To fix the issue, you have to set up a password for your MySQL user.

According to the official documentation, you need to create a Secret object containing your password:

kubectl create secret generic mysql-pass --from-literal=password=YOUR_PASSWORD

And update your deployment spec with the following part:

env:
  - name: MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD
    valueFrom:
      secretKeyRef:
        name: mysql-pass
        key: password
