Connect Spring Docker to local mysql instance

Is it possible for my dockers that run Spring boot services to connect to a MySQL database running on the host?

Using the -p tag when running the docker is ineffective as port binding is not allowed if the port is in use

Yes, you can connect to MySQL DB running on the host.

All you need to do is run the docker container(that contain spring boot services) on host network using --net host in your docker run command.

Example:

docker run -itd --net host --name myapp myimage

Make a note that if you use the host network mode for a container, that container’s network stack is not isolated from the Docker host.
