Using Docker to run Mariadb but the database is empty

Question

So, I can access running mysql inside the virtual machine using: mysql -h (mariadb's IP) -u (user) -p (password) database name Now when I try to create the following command to run mariadb inside a docker container: [ref] (How to access mariadb on docker remotely?). Then when I display the table, it displays Empty Set (0.000 seconds). Not sure why I can't see the data through docker. I also tried using docker ip as container, same thing. Does anyone know a solution to this problem? Thank you in advance.

I can figure it out. I just had to do something like this - Sometimes, you need to specify the server's port or force TCP mode:

mysql -h 173.18.0.2 -P 3308 --protocol=TCP -u root -p
