I might have a need for it. When I moved mysql-native to github
actions, I could no longer run mysql integration tests on MacOS
or Windows, since there is no docker support for a mysql
instance on those platforms. I can probably install mysql
manually at some point, but I haven't looked into it.
At least for MacOS, this sounds like a way I can run a mysql
instance that the MacOS host can talk to.
I don't think that would work. The VM is only running during one
step. When the step is done, the VM is terminated. Also, Docker
doesn't support FreeBSD or OpenBSD. I don't plan to add platforms
which GitHub Actions natively support.
On the other hand, it seems pretty straightforward to install
MySQL natively on macOS:
```
brew install mysql
brew services start mysql
```
There are also several GitHub Actions that will setup MySQL:
