client does not support authentication protocol requested by server, consider upgrading mysql client about manage-my-damn-life-nextjs HOT 2 OPEN

while we're at it, I'm guessing the mysql image should use .env.local, not the environment yaml keys. and the db_host in the example env should be "db", not "localhost"

example env should be "db", not "localhost

You're correct. That is something I will change in the sample file.

As for your particular issue, make sure that the

DB_USER=root

and

DB_PASS in the .env file is the same as MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD in your docker compose.

The variables passed to mysql image in your docker compose are used to create a root user in your mysql docker container.

The .env file is just for configuring how MMDL accesses your db. MMDL would need your DB username, password, IP etc. to make a connection, and those variables are passed in the .env file.
