docker-compose : The server requested authentication method unknown to the client

Question

I have this yml file for configuration of MySQL in docker:

# Use root/example as user/password credentials
version: \'3.1\'

services:

  db:
    image: mysq         


        

Answer 1

If you encounter this error but still wish to use MySQL v.8. You can do this by telling MySQL Server to use the legacy authentication plugin.

So, your compose file will look like this:

# Use root/example as user/password credentials

version: '3.1'

services:

  db:
    image: mysql
    command: --default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password
    restart: always
    environment:
       MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: 'pass'
       MYSQL_DATABASE: 'db'
       MYSQL_USER: 'user'
       MYSQL_PASSWORD: 'pass'

  adminer:
    image: adminer
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 8888:8080
