Invalid bind mount spec

This error might occure after changing the path of MySQL, PgSQL, Mongo or any other data directory.

When you change any paths inside .env that affect Docker mountpoints, the container need to be removed and re-created during the next startup. Removing the container is sufficient as they will always be created during run if they don’t exist.

In order to remove the container do the following:

host> cd path/to/devilbox
host> docker-compose stop

# Remove the stopped container (IMPORTANT!)
# After the removal it will be re-created during next run
host> docker-compose rm -f

[Warning] World-writable config file ‘/etc/mysql/docker-default.d/my.cnf’ is ignored

This warning might occur when using Docker Toolbox on Windows and trying to apply custom MySQL configuration files. This will also result in the configuration file not being source by the MySQL server.

To fix this issue, you will have to change the file permission of your custom configuration files to read-only by applying the following chmod command.

# Nagivate to devilbox git directory
host> cd path/to/devilbox

# Navigate to the MySQL config directory (e.g.: MySQL 5.5)
host> cd cfg/mysql-5.5

# Make cnf files read only
host> chmod 0444 *.cnf
