It’s important for mysql containers to use persistent storage / volumes. I know and like the data only containers with stopped containers and used with volumes-from.  
Because I don’t use network storages I need local persistent storage. That’s why I would prefer data only containers.

If there another - host independent way - for persistent storage?  
Will convoy a solution? And will it work with moveable data-only containers or with host dependent directories?
