Depending what you are running on you would need to enable host access. I tested with minikube and was able to use [`host.minikube.internal`](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/handbook/host-access/) as the sql host:

```auto
helm install -f values/values.mysql.yaml temporaltest \
  --set elasticsearch.enabled=false \
  --set prometheus.enabled=false \
  --set grafana.enabled=false \
  --set server.config.persistence.default.sql.user=myuser \
  --set server.config.persistence.default.sql.password=mypassword \
  --set server.config.persistence.visibility.sql.user=myuser \
  --set server.config.persistence.visibility.sql.password=mypassword \
  --set server.config.persistence.default.sql.host=host.minikube.internal \
  --set server.config.persistence.visibility.sql.host=host.minikube.internal . --timeout 900s

```

Just make sure that locally your mysql user has a non-blank password (if you use root by default its blank so make sure you set it to something) cause there seems to be a small issue with having blank password for sql in helm charts atm, investigating.
