Running different MySQL Servers inside a single host

There are many circumstances where running different MySQL server versions required. Eg:- testing

Spinning MySQL docker instance is the easiest way I have found among multiple methods.

sudo docker run --name mysql56 -p 127.0.0.1:3316:3306 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root -d mysql:5.6

This command will download and spin a MySQL 5.6 container. At the same time it will map the default 3306 port in to the 3316 of the host machine.
