Docker MySQL integration¶

The Docker MySQL integration allows developers to run a MySQL database within a Docker container, enabling a lightweight, portable, and isolated database environment^[600-developer-docker-index.md].

Deployment¶

To run MySQL, the standard Docker command can be used to pull and execute the official image^[600-developer-docker-index.md].

docker run --name mysql-db -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password -d mysql

Network Configuration¶

By default, the containerized MySQL instance is isolated. To allow the host machine or other containers to access the database, port mapping is required.^[600-developer-docker-index.md] This forwards traffic from a specific port on the host to the MySQL default port (3306) inside the container^[600-developer-docker-index.md].

Port Mapping Example:

docker run --name mysql-db -p 33060:3306 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password -d mysql

• -p 33060:3306: Maps host port 33060 to container port 3306^[600-developer-docker-index.md].
