Fn using MySQL DB

Let's presuppose you don't have even a MySQL DB ready.

1. Let's start a MySQL instance:

docker run --name func-mysql \
        -e MYSQL_DATABASE=funcs -e MYSQL_USER=func -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=funcpass -e MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD=yes -d mysql

For more configuration options, see docker mysql docs.

2. Now let's start Functions connecting to our new mysql instance

docker run --rm --privileged --link "func-mysql:mysql" \
    -e "FN_DB_URL=mysql://func:funcpass@tcp(mysql:3306)/funcs" \
    -it -p 8080:8080 fnproject/fn
