I don't know about MySQL (can't say I've worked with it or even wanted to work with it), but I've just written a post on the disaster that is setting up a PWA that should also work offline and including a manifest.JSON file for that purpose.

In the end, I ditched the whole PWA bit of the process and released the thing as an uninstallable app with a desktop icon to be used for a desktop shortcut to the index.html page. It breaks use for mobile (although anyone is welcome to modify the app locally or send a pull request/issue if they know how to fix that), but at least it's not breaking desktop use, too.
