Don't try to put storage into containers at this point. You'll just be in for a bad time.
Either run a seperate vps for MySQL or use a hosted solution.
Containerization will get there but i think putting old some types of old school apps in containers is a bad idea.
E.g. redis, beanstalk, and similar fit nicely I to clusters and restarting nodes without too much issue or downtime.
MySQL, if your install is large enough, you never want it to go down. This pretty much goes against everything to do with containerization, your developers also gain no benefit of it being in a container (apart from maybe running a small db in developent only where Provisioning a vm would be too painful)
