Unable to connect to MYSQL from Docker Instance

Question

I\'m new to Docker and pulled the mysql from the docker hub using following command

docker pull mysql

Answer 1

Get in the docker container using the following command

docker exec -it mysql bash

You can then easily connect to MySQL, by executing the following command

mysql -uroot -p

If you are trying to connect from the host machine, then you will have to install the mysql client. On mac, the command is as follows

brew install mysql
