If port 3306 is taken, how is one supposed to know that 3307 is a good alternative? Why not 3317 or 3703
seriously?when this is your point about bad documentation than you just don't have a point - there is no "good alternive". ist's only a question of is the port already used by another service (and since this is a local question it has no place in any docs) and "hm, if i start mysqld already with a low privileged user i need a port between 1024 and 65535
if all of your points are "i have no clue and the documentation noweher talks about macos" then just install a virtual machine which is for development setups in general a good solution (simlar environment as everywhere in production or mass hoster setups, snapshots, backup of the whole environment, cloneable....)
