Accessing database that is running inside a docker container?

I have a MariaDB up and running in a Docker container. I want to know how to connect to it from an app running locally (not) in the docker container. How can I open up access?

when you call docker run to start your container you can bind a specific port like this 

docker run -p your_port:3306

this will make your container accessible on docker_host_ip:your_port and the docker service will take care of forwarding the connection to the right container at the port 3306

your MariaDB container must publish ports, and you will connect using those ports. See for example http://amattn.com/p/installing_maria_db_mysql_with_docker.html

the port 3306 in the container will be mapped to a port on the host, and you will connect to that port.
