• Printing log output.
• Setting a root password.
• Creating a user and database.
• Setting my.cnf variables with environment variables
• Passing extra parameters to mysqld
• Running mysql under supervisor
• Also running an openssh daemon if you'd ever need to access the container directly. user/pass = root/root
