Connect to networked mysql docker container with local client - docker

Question

I have just followed a tutorial on using Docker. I started with installing different containers and when I got to mysql, i installed it by running
docker container run -d -p 3306:3306 --name mysql --env MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=123456 mysql
After the container has been created, I have been able to connect to MySQL with Heidi, by using 127.0.0.1, root and 123456 as password.
I eventually moved forward with another tutorial on installing WordPress with docker.

The yaml for setting up the containers is bellow. Everything works just fine, but when it comes to connecting to the database using Heidi, I just do not get what to do - what connection data to use or what to change in the yaml to be able to connect from local machine.

# Database

Answer 1

You should expose 3306 port to local machine. Then, you can connect to MySQL by using host=127.0.0.1.
Update the yaml file like this:
version: '3'
services:
# Database
db:
image: mysql:5.7
volumes:
- db_data:/var/lib/mysql
restart: always
ports:
- "3306:3306"
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: password
MYSQL_DATABASE: wordpress
MYSQL_USER: wordpress
MYSQL_PASSWORD: wordpress
networks:
- wpsite
...
