Connect To Custom MySQL Instance

[Chris John]

I am using a custom MySQL image on the pipeline:

image:   
  name: <dockerusername>/mysql-unit-test-db:latest  
  username: $DOCKER_HUB_USERNAME  
  password: $DOCKER_HUB_PASSWORD  
  email: $DOCKER_HUB_EMAIL

I am not having issues getting the image from DockerHub, that works fine, but when I try to access MySql from my steps it will not allow me to connect.  (When I run the image locally I can connect just fine).  I have tried to connect a couple of different ways:

- mysql -h ${BITBUCKET_DOCKER_HOST_INTERNAL} -u root -ppass -e "SHOW DATABASES;"

 ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on '10.39.173.114' (111)

- mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u root -ppass -e "SHOW DATABASES;"

 ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (111)

I have also tried to run a script that waits for MySql to start up but that has not worked either.  Is what I'm trying to do even possible?

The reason for using a custom MySql image is that I need to adjust "lower_case_table_names" and that is not possible using services.
