MySQL 5 docker-compose

README.md

Steps

1. Open up the terminal
2. Make sure you go to the home directory via: cd ~
3. Create a new folder called sfdc via: mkdir sfdc
4. Change into that directory via : cd sfdc
5. Copy the contents of the file into docker-compose.yml into that directory. In the terminal, ls should print out docker-compose.yml
6. Make sure the docker app is running on your machine
7. In the terminal, run the command docker-compose up

Above, we could also use the command docker-compose up -d which runs the container detached, but above is good to help see if there are any issues

After a few minutes, connect to the MySQL database via your tool of choice (e.g. Dbeaver). You if you do not run the command with -d, the first time might take a few minutes as it pulls the necessary tooling down to your computer.

To stop the container, contrl + c if you followed step 7 below, and then docker-compose stop if you used docker-compose up -d. You will need to use docker-compose stop to properly stop the container. You can monitor if the container is running via Docker App (in the toolbar) and Dashboard.
