Install MySQL Docker

I assume Docker already installed and running.

Pull mysql container

You can specify version (5.7). If version is not given it will download latest version.

C:\>docker pull mysql/mysql-server:5.7

Check docker image

C:\>docker images

Run mysql instance

docker run --name mysql1 -e MYSQL_USER=root -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=root -e MYSQL_DATABASE=homedb -p 3306:3306 -d mysql/mysql-server:5.7 

Check docker processes

C:\>docker ps

Connect MySQL on docker

docker exec -it mysql1 mysql -uroot -p

If you did not provide a password in docker run command then system will generate a password. To change password and give some permissions:

C:\>docker logs mysql1 2>&1 | FindStr GENERATED
[Entrypoint] GENERATED ROOT PASSWORD: yBiG5ynmyvVurAw93HDok3buGhi

docker exec -it mysql1 mysql -uroot -p

ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'root';

CREATE USER 'root'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'root';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;

SHOW GRANTS FOR 'root'@'%';
