How to Use the MySQL Images
---------------------------

**Warning**

The MySQL Docker images maintained by the MySQL team are built
specifically for Linux platforms. Other platforms are not supported, and
users using these MySQL Docker images on them are doing so at their own
risk. See the discussion here
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/deploy-mysql-nonlinux-docker.html
for some known limitations for running these containers on non-Linux
operating systems.


Downloading a MySQL Server Docker Image
---------------------------------------

Before downloading the MySQL Enterprise Server image, you must accept
the license agreement on this page. Then, using the Docker CLI, run

docker login container-registry.oracle.com

Enter your Oracle user credentials. You should now be able to use the
cli to pull the image.


Starting a MySQL Server Instance and Connecting to it
-----------------------------------------------------

For how to start a MySQL Server and connect to it, as well as topics
like server configuration, persisting data and configuration, server
error log, server upgrades, and the Docker environment variables, see
Deploying MySQL Server with Docker here
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/linux-installation-docker.html
in the MySQL Server manual.


Products Included in the Container
----------------------------------

A number of MySQL products are included in the Docker container you
created with the MySQL Server Docker image:

    -   MySQL Server and other MySQL Programs
        (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/mysql.html)

    -   MySQL Shell.
        (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/mysql-shell.html)
