How to setup iCloud+ Custom Domain Catch All email with Gmail

I've recently tested on how to move the custom domain catch all email from G Suite to the new iCloud+ Catch All feature and wanted to share my experience.

The end result is having Custom Domain email and Catch All routing, that can be fully used via Gmail, including receiving and sending emails.

The steps

• Setup your Custom Domain (or subdomain) with iCloud+

Installing MySQL 8.0 via Docker

TLDR: just looking for the code? Skip to the end.

📖 Summary

This document guides you through the setup of Docker and MySQL.

Why would you want to do it this way?

• Isolated environment. Need to upgrade from version 5.7 to 8.0 and are just developing locally? Previous configurations breaking your installation? Toss your old image and get a new one.
• Preparation for real world development. Local databases are typically for coding and testing. Developers don't normally run a live production database from their own machine. We just need a database we can quickly test and develop on. Docker is perfect for that.
