Docker using mysql

Question

Get following error, when trying to run MySQL in docker. Saying the ports is already in use, that would be for my local mysql database perhaps, how do I use docker and mysql

 docker: Error response from daemon: driver failed programming external     connectivity on endpoint stupefied_einstein (): Error starting userland proxy: listen tcp 0.0.0.0:3306: bind: address already in use.

Answer 1

Map you docker mysql container on another port when you start the container:

docker run -p 3307:3306 ...

The container port 3306 will be mapped on the host port 3307. (while your real mysql can use 3306)
