Failing Initial Stab at #1 (MySQL comm packages)

After hours and hours of troubleshooting, this is the initial (failing) stab at getting Bamboo to communicate with MySQL 5.7, upon performing the _Setting Up Database_ steps during the basic Bamboo configuration guide, we keep getting these errors in MySQL server:

    2022-09-12T19:02:41.813374Z 5 [Note] Aborted connection 5 to db: 'bamboo' user: 'bamboouser' host: '172.20.0.3' (Got an error reading communication packets)
    2022-09-12T19:02:43.815778Z 6 [Note] Aborted connection 6 to db: 'bamboo' user: 'bamboouser' host: '172.20.0.3' (Got an error reading communication packets)
    ...

This is the error detail at maximum error log verbosity, and Bamboo fails without clear error message and redirects back to the _Configure Database Connection Parameters Form_.

We should proceed with using Postgres as database instead, and see if we can make the Python Pandas abstract away the RDBMS differences.

 ## Getting Started
 
+Create a local Bamboo-MySQL deployment using Docker:
+
+    docker-compose up -d
+    docker ps  # Verify Bamboo and MySQL are both up and healthy
