Once downloaded, you need to "run" the image to create an active container. You must set a root password using the MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD environment variable, or the container will fail to start.
docker run --name mysql-db -p 3306:3306 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password -d mysql Use code with caution. download mysql docker container

By default, Docker downloads the latest version, but you can specify a version (tag) to match your environment. docker pull mysql:latest Use code with caution. Download a specific version (e.g., 8.0): docker pull mysql:8.0 Use code with caution. Once downloaded, you need to "run" the image
