Get image config from github

  git clone http://github.com/tango-controls/docker-mysql
  cd docker-mysql/
  cat README.md

Build the image using the config file

  docker build -t tango-db .

Run the docker image with a name assigned

  docker run -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root --rm -i -t --name tango-db tango-db

The name will allow to open bash sessions
