Personally, I've never knowingly used Docker (various bits of Ubuntu seem
to use it now out of the box... or is that Snap? Or AppImage? Or FlatPak? I
can't keep this particular development space straight in my mind). But
wouldn't the simplest, easiest and most performant solution be to just
install MySQL 8? Even on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, it's absolutely trivial,
manually or via a script:

$ curl -OL https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-apt-config_0.8.10-1_all.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i mysql-apt-config*

And according to this page
<https://www.percona.com/blog/2018/05/14/installing-mysql-8-on-ubuntu-16-04-lts/>,
it can be done on 16.04, too.

Thanks for the shout out. I'd been beginning to wonder if my message
actually made it to the list ;-)

By the way, development on CQPweb-Instabox
<https://github.com/Linguista/CQPweb-Instabox> has been continuing, with an
eye on ease of use. Now, you can install the equivalent of the current
CQPWIAB by just running ./cqpweb-instabox vm (or ...
./cqpweb-instabox vmdeluxe if you want all NLP and corpus ling trimmings).

Cheers,
Scott
