Database Connections Fails

[nonlinearsugar]

I wasn't able to connect to my database with my docker compose file. I received the error: "php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known"

I ended up having to hard code my database parameters into /var/www/html/inc/conf.php and setting the INSTALL mode to false. Following this I was able to establish a DB connection and complete setup.

Here's the compose file (usernames and passwords intentionally blanked out):

I ended up having to hard code my database parameters into /var/www/html/inc/conf.php and setting the INSTALL mode to false. Following this I was able to establish a DB connection and complete setup.

Hardcoding the variables isn't necessary. The real fix is switching to MariaDB, which solves all the MySQL problems. You'll have to wait a little after initial startup (up to a few minutes, depending on your system) for it to create the initial DB and prune the /install folder. After that, you're golden.

You should be able to monitor progress with docker logs <HTP CONTAINER NAME> -f. It'll tell you when it's pruned the /install folder. Not need for hardcoding anything. You'll need to change some permissions on your mapped volumes, though, or else it might not let you upload files.

I've put in a PR with some changes (including some additional environment parameters) to get a working setup.

ETA: PR was merged. The docker-compose.yaml as is now should work just fine, without any workarounds. This issue can probably be closed.
