How to Get MySQL and Redis Credentials

In some cases, you may want to directly access the MySQL or Redis services used by your WuWei platform. This guide shows you how to retrieve your database credentials and connect to the containers.

View MySQL & Redis Credentials

If you installed WuWei using the official installation script, your credentials are stored in the .env file.

View the .env file:

cat /root/wuwei-docker/.env

You will see entries like:

#mysql root password
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=your_root_password

#mysql database for wuwei
MYSQL_DATABASE=wuwei

#wuwei database user
MYSQL_USER=wuwei

#wuwei database password
MYSQL_PASSWORD=your_mysql_password

#redis password
REDIS_PASSWORD=your_redis_password

Connect to MySQL

Option 1: Enter the MySQL container manually

docker exec -it wuwei-mysql bash

Option 2: Use alias (if configured)

docker_mysql

Then connect to MySQL:

mysql -u {mysql_user} -p

Replace the {mysql_user} and enter the password with the values from .env file.

Connect to Redis

Option 1: Enter the Redis container manually

docker exec -it wuwei-redis bash

Option 2: Use alias (if configured)

docker_redis

Then connect using redis-cli:

redis-cli

Authenticate with your Redis password:

auth {redis_password}

Replace redis_password with the value found in your .env file.
