title: Setting up MySQL for dev environment with Docker
body: <p>Trying to set up a docker mysql server with phpmyadmin and an existing company_dev.sql file to import, in an effort to dockerize my dev environment. </p>
  
  <p>My first question is how do I go about setting this up? Do I need to specify an OS, i.e. Ubuntu in my Dockerfile, then add sudo apt-get install mysql-server and install phpmyadmin? Or am I better off running an existing docker image from the docker repo and building on top of that?</p>
  
  <p>Upon making CRUD operations to this database, I would like to save its state for later use. Would using docker commit be appropriate for this use case? I know using dockerfile is best practice.</p>
  
  <p>I appreciate any advice. </p>
