You will need to change directory before executing the commands below with:

cd docker

See the Docker Compose configurations for our tests databases locally and also used by GitHub Actions in CI.

This is only intended to be run in a development environment where ports 3306 / default for MySQL - 5432 / default for PostgreSQL and 4306 custom port - MariaDB are free and not used.

If they are already used make sure to change the ports like this

ports:
  - '3307:3306' # only change the first number

Docker images for MySQL and Microsoft SQL Server only support x86_64 CPUs. Copy or link docker-compose.arm64.yml to docker-compose.override.yml to use ARMv8-compatible drop-in replacements (MariaDB and Azure SQL Edge) instead.

By default, Compose reads two files, a docker-compose.yml and an optional docker-compose.override.yml file. By convention, the docker-compose.yml contains your base configuration. The override file, as its name implies, can contain configuration overrides for existing services or entirely new services.

In detached/background mode using -d (recommended)

docker-compose up -d
# Or start only one service
docker-compose up -d mysql
# To see logs
docker-compose logs -f mysql

In attached mode, the logs will be streamed in the terminal:

docker-compose up
# Or start only one service
docker-compose up mysql

docker-compose down

docker-compose down -v --rmi all --remove-orphans
