Answer 1

If someone facing this problem when using Docker, be sure if you are using your version of SQL.

In my case: MYSQL_VERSION=latest changing to MYSQL_VERSION=5.7.

Then you need to remove your unused Docker images with docker system prune -a (docs).

Also, in your .env you need to change DB_HOST=mysql. And run php artisan config:clear.

I think it will help someone.
