I am developing a docker-compose file for my setup. Main issue I have is connecting from host to a working docker-container with mysql.
As my hostname I’m using the containername: “docker_mysql”, username & password as specified in the yaml file.
However, It always returns “connection failed”. I have granted the correct privileges to the root user, though still the same. Have also tried to connect via ip, and/or localhost - still same failing result.
Soon pulling my hair. After much search on google, still no solution.
Anyone can see what i’m doing wrong?

services:
mysql:
image: mysql:5.7
build: ./Docker/mysql
container_name: docker_mysql

environment:
MYSQL_DATABASE: "xx"
MYSQL_USER: "xx"
MYSQL_PASSWORD: "xx"
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: "xx"

Hi there,
The Docker container name can be used as a hostname within the Docker network itself.
As you are accessing your MySQL container from your laptop directly, you should use
127.0.0.1
instead along with the port that you’ve exposed:3308
.Let me know how it goes!
Best,
Bobby
