connecting to a docker-compose mysql container denies access but docker running same image does not

Question

I am having some issues connecting to the mysql docker container that I have launched with docker-compose. This is a long post (sorry!).

Here is my docker-compose.ym

Answer 1

I had the same error "Access denied for user 'admin'@'172.20.0.1' (using password: YES)". And for the long time could not figure out how to resolve it. In my situation docker-compose takes configuration from .env file.

environment:
  MYSQL_DATABASE: ${DB_DATABASE}
  MYSQL_USER: ${DB_USERNAME}
  MYSQL_PASSWORD: ${DB_PASSWORD}
  MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: ${DB_PASSWORD}

Finally I have found issue! The problem was in double quots in parameters.

DB_PASSWORD="dbpassword"

doesn't work

DB_PASSWORD=dbpassword

work
