Hello, there. I will start with the obvious question: Is the MySQL server running on your Docker image? In the `docker build` output, I see the client library and the common package being installed, but not the server.

How did you confirm this?

We can [enable debug feature](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/running-build-in-debug-mode/#enabling-debug-mode) on this repository if you wish, so you can troubleshoot the issue interactively. Please email [support@travis-ci.com](mailto:support@travis-ci.com).

I am building the image myself. When I am running the same commands locally, it works like a charm.

If your statements are true, then I have no idea why you can’t connect to your MySQL server on the container.
