Trying to access the container with
mysql -h localhost -u root -p
it asks for the password, using 123456 as the password fails; using empty password also fails.
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
Solution
docker exec -it mysql mysql -uroot -p, then a prompt is out to input the password with123456, then It can successfully get access to the mysql command line. however why I can’t use tableplus
From the comment above it’s verified that you are able to access the mysql server inside the container, so the issue with tableplus not the container root password.
Just publish the port and it should work,
docker run -it -p 3306:3306 --name mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=123456 mysql
Also, it seems like tableplus connecting with host MySQL instead of container one as container did not publish the port in your case so it trying to connect somewhere else.
