Description

Feature Request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:

as title

Describe the feature you'd like:

run tidb playground in one container

Why the featue is needed:

Many individual developers cannot afford the high price of the TiDB-cluster, but they may want to use related tools from the TiDB community.

For example, the TiDB dashboard / one-click Grafana monitor etc.

Consider that tiup already provides "tiup --tag xxx playground" to ensure that data is not lost.

Perhaps we could go a step further and provide docker images to help individual developers replace their mysql with tidb playground ?

By the way I think we can think of TiDB-playground as a lighter version of TiDB-cluster, e.g. the relationship between K3s and K8s

Describe alternatives you've considered:

I found this repo, which may help a little

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing tiup --tag xxx playground flow and the referenced yeya24/tidb-playground repository. Define the container scope, including whether TiDB Dashboard, Grafana monitoring, and persistent data are required. Done should mean the playground can be started in a container with the agreed tools and data-retention behavior.
