This article is the continuation of my previous https://dev.to/ibrarturi/setup-docker-container-for-mailhog-to-use-it-with-laravel-app-4g00 in which we setup docker container for https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog to use it with your Laravel app. In this article, I am going to explain how to add new container for MySQL 8.0 that can be used with your Laravel app. # MySQL Service db: platform: linux/x86_64 image: mysql:8.0.28 container_name: mysql-8 environment: #MYSQL_USER: 'foo' ports: - 3307:3306 volumes: - docker_workspace_mysql:/var/lib/mysql networks: - docker_workspace_network volumes: docker_workspace_mysql: external: false networks: docker_workspace_network: driver: bridge To setup your Laravel app to use this MySQL container, open your.env file and change the DB credentials to the following: DB_DATABASE=db-name-here DB_USERNAME=root DB_PASSWORD=secret DB_PORT=3307 Now, open your Laravel app and now it should be connected to MySQL from docker container
