Laravel Sail Database & User not created

Question

I just set up a laravel project with laravel sail and for some reason during build process it doesn't create the given database and user. I am quite confused as to why because I feel like I've configured everything right.

When executing ./vendor/bin/sail artisan migrate I get following error which indicates that the user given in my .env either doesn't exist or has wrong credentials:

 Illuminate\Database\QueryException 

  SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'Laravel'@'192.168.0.5' (using password: YES) 
(SQL: select * from information_schema.tables where table_schema = shop and table_name = migrations and table_type = 'BASE TABLE')

Checking my Database as root user showed me that it indeed hasn't got the Laravel user configured:

mysql> SELECT user, host FROM mysql.user;
+------------------+-----------+
| user             | host      |
+------------------+-----------+
| root             | %         |
| mysql.infoschema | localhost |
| mysql.session    | localhost |
| mysql.sys        | localhost |
| root             | localhost |
+------------------+-----------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)

After further inspection I found out that not even the database was created:

mysql> SHOW DATABASES;
+--------------------+
| Database           |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| mysql              |
| performance_schema |
| sys                |
+--------------------+
4 rows in set (0.01 sec)

This is my .env:

PP_NAME=Laravel
APP_ENV=local
APP_KEY=base64:nzYXOsqDlSiRuBsaDVcrUiKfQhekjhhpJlq3VKSo0M8=
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_URL=http://ak-wear.test

LOG_CHANNEL=stack
LOG_LEVEL=debug

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=mysql
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=shop
DB_ROOT_PASSWORD=
DB_USERNAME=Laravel
DB_PASSWORD=ak123456
...

This is my docker-compose.yml:

Of course I could create the database and user myself but since Sail/Docker-Compose ship with these options I want to make them work out of the box when setting up my project with Sail. Does anyone have an idea why the database and user are not created?

Answer 1

Okay, it seems like I accidentally created a mysql volume by running sail without an .env file, which was persistent the whole time thus of course having no user and database configured.

I executed ./vendor/bin/sail down --rmi all -v to remove all images and volumes and then just ran ./vendor/bin/sail up and it created the images and volumes from scratch. Now everything worked out and I can migrate my data.

Answer 2

You need the root role to access

1. stop Sail
2. set DB_DATABASE= empty
3. set DB_USERNAME=root
4. run sail $sail up
5. run MySQL $sail mysql
6. done. create update delete user or databases
