I am using Docker to run someone's app.  One of the containers is the web app and the sibling container is mysql.  I need to dump a table from the DB locally but I'm not sure how to connect to it.  I ran docker inspect [container name] on the mysql container and I see the IP address listed but now what do i do with that?

        Try:
docker exec {container} mysqldump {mysqldump option} > dump.sql
Hopefully mysqldump is in the container.
