Docker

docker run --name mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password -d mysql:5.7

FreeBSD

sudo pkg install mysql57-server
echo "MYSQL_ENABLE=\"YES\"" >> /etc/rc.conf
sudo service mysql-server start

Starting with mysql-5.7, a temporary root password is assigned.
You must reassign it to use the database.

mysql -u root --password=$(cat /root/.mysql_secret | tail -n1)
ALTER USER `root`@`localhost` IDENTIFIED BY 'some-password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
