Mysql

You need a .env file to set the required parameters. It should look like this:

COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME=mysql5.7 # this should be unique for every version of mysql since the data volume will be persisted and will be named based on this value.
MYSQL_VERSION=5.7 # the container version you want to use
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=YourRootPasswordHere
MYSQL_USER=YourRegularUserNameHere
MYSQL_PASS=YourRegularUserPasswordHere
MYSQL_DATABASE=YourDatabaseNameHere

Run docker-compose up to start the container.

The configuration will default to version 5.7 if a .env file isn't created.

You will run into data conflicts if you run multiple versions and don't set COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME in the .env file.
