To import a .gz file into a MySQL database running in a Docker container, you can follow these steps:

Copy the my_seeds.gz file to the Docker container:

docker cp my_seeds.gz CONTAINER_ID:/tmp/my_seeds.gz

Replace CONTAINER_ID with the actual ID of your MySQL container. You can find the container ID using the docker ps command.

Log in to the MySQL container:

docker exec -it CONTAINER_ID bash

In the container, install the gzip package, which is necessary to extract the .gz file:

apt-get update
apt-get install -y gzip

Extract the .gz file:

gzip -d /tmp/my_seeds.gz

This will create a file named my_seeds.sql in the /tmp directory.

Import the extracted .sql file into your MySQL database:

mysql -u USERNAME -p DATABASE_NAME < /tmp/my_seeds.sql

Replace USERNAME with your MySQL user and DATABASE_NAME with the name of the database you want to import the data into. You'll be prompted to enter the password for the MySQL user.

After the import is complete, you can exit the Docker container:

exit

That's it! You've imported the contents of the my_seeds.gz file into your MySQL database running in a Docker container.
