I’ll use MySQL Working 6.3, which has drastically evolved from older versions of the tool. My instance of MySQL Workbench will connect to a MySQL database, housed on Ubuntu Server 18.04.

With the MySQL image on your machine, it’s time to deploy the container. ... Exit from the MySQL shell with the command exit and you’re ready to use your containerized MySQL database.

This is mostly a question of the database driver. For the initial version I chose the most popular mysql node.js driver. It has the major advantage of being 100 percent Javascript.
