I run mysql container using Docker. I start it with like
sudo docker -d --name mysql -p 3306:3306 -v /var/lib/mysql:/var/lib/mysql mysql_image
I suspect that stopping mysql by stopping docker is not safe. Am I wrong?
sudo docker stop mysql
Is it safer to stop mysql inside of the container first?
sudo docker exec mysql /usr/bin/mysqladmin shutdown

looks safe, from the docs:
The main process inside the container will receive SIGTERM, and after a grace period, SIGKILL.
so if the main process is mysqld, it will have a decent chance to flush everything.
