proper usage of MySQL docker container while integrating with java application

Hi Community, Currently I am trying to implement some eCommerce functionality in java. And I would like to pull data from MySQL and utilize the same. So for this purpose I wanted to use MySQL docker container for the first time. And in my Linux server(host) I have installed docker and created a custom MySQL container with Image. so here the question is how to use this container in my local computer. And is this the way we suppose to access MySQL from local ?? or we create a different container for our local server by installing docker from the image? And how to access this container from host server (I mean the endpoint). Could someone please elaborate the clear use case of MySQL docker container. if you have any questions for my query please ask so that I will reply in comments.
