⁠Extra notes

⁠Initialization Scripts

The container supports initialization scripts that will be executed when the database is first created. Place your scripts in the /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d directory:

• *.sh files will be executed as shell scripts
• *.sql files will be executed as SQL scripts
• *.sql.gz and *.sql.xz files will be decompressed and executed as SQL scripts

⁠Security Considerations

• The container runs as the mysql user (non-root) for improved security
• Anonymous users are removed during initialization
• Remote root access is disabled by default (root can only connect from localhost)
• The test database is removed during initialization
