Unknown database error

[max-tet]

The most simple docker install throws this error.

docker run --rm -it ghost:alpine

connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:3306

"Unknown database error"

Then, the container exits with code 2.

Since 5.x, ghost upstream has moved away from sqlite as a supported configuration, so an external database is required.

There is an example docker-compose file on the Docker Hub readme:

Ok thanks! The dangers of using the latest tag. 😉

Perhaps it might be worthwhile to change the log to something more meaningful. "Database not configured, please provide configuration for external database" or something like that.
