How to Configure Docker to Connect to External MySQL Server

In this tutorial, we'll explore how to use a remote MySQL server with Docker for your development needs.

In our previous videos, we set up a Docker environment using Laradock.io and created a Laravel project. Now, let's take it a step further by connecting to a MySQL database hosted on an AWS EC2 instance.

Here's a breakdown of what we'll cover:

1) Launching a new AWS EC2 instance with Ubuntu and installing MySQL server
2) Configuring the MySQL server to allow external connections
3) Setting up security groups and firewall rules to enable remote access
4) Configuring our local Docker environment to connect to the remote MySQL server
5) Testing the connection and running Laravel migrations

Please note that security considerations, such as IP restrictions, are crucial when opening ports like 3306. Be sure to implement best practices for your production environments.

Follow along with the steps in the video to seamlessly integrate Docker with a remote MySQL server for your development environment.
