# MySQL

MySQL is an open-source relational database management system. This deploys a shared MySQL instance used by apps that require MySQL (such as Ghost).

## Dependencies

None. MySQL is a standalone infrastructure service.

## Configuration

Key settings configured through your instance's `config.yaml`:

- **storage** - Persistent volume size (default: `20Gi`)
- **port** - Service port (default: `3306`)
- **timezone** - Server timezone (default: `UTC`)

## Usage

Apps that depend on MySQL will connect to it at `mysql.mysql.svc.cluster.local:3306`. Database credentials are managed automatically through the secrets system.
