docker-compose seems to ignore .env-variables on mariadb – PHP Versions

I’m having problems with docker-compose for a while now and can’t figure out what’s going on there. Given is the following scenario – which worked before but stopped working on a new project and now on every new stack I build up:

$ docker --version
Docker version 20.10.12, build e91ed57  
$ docker-compose --version
Docker Compose version v2.2.2

OS: Pop!_OS 21.10 (NVIDIA)

Filestructure:

/myfolder
+ app-src (containing my laravel-project)
+ database-dumps (for database-dumps - containing a .gitkeep-file)
+ database_persist (for persistent data - containing a .gitkeep-file)
- .env
- .gitignore
- buildcontrainer.sh (custom script)
- container-start.sh (custom script)
- docker-compose.yml
- migrate-database.sh (custom script)
- README.md

This is the shortened docker-compose.yml-file (shortened, because it only affects the database… nginx and the php-container are working fine):

version: '3'
services:
  database:
    environment:
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=${DB_DATABASE}
      - MYSQL_USER=${DB_USER}
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=${DB_PASSWORD}
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=${DB_ROOT_PASSWORD}
    image: mariadb:10.6.1
    ports:
      - "${DB_EXPOSE_PORT}:3306"
    volumes:
      - "./database_persist:/var/lib/mysqldata"

And the .env-File:

COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME=MyProject

DB_DATABASE="myprojectdb"
DB_USER="myproject"
DB_PASSWORD="12345"
DB_ROOT_PASSWORD="12345"
DB_EXPOSE_PORT=9036

WEB_EXPOSE_PORT_HTTP=9080
WEB_EXPOSE_PORT_HTTPS=9043

Now to my problem – whenever I try to set up an environment like given in the scenario and I run docker-compose build and docker-compose up afterwards I get the following output:

Creating network "myproject_default" with the default driver
Creating myproject_database_1 ... done

It looks to me as if the .env-parameters are not given to the database-container anymore. All attempts recreating the database-container with docker-compose build, or removing all images via docker image prune and docker-compose pull have been in vain. I have updated my OS from 21.04 to 21.10 two days ago, but I don’t think it causes the issue (just stated it here if it does). Does someone has an idea on how to fix this? Setting the MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD directly in the docker-compose.yml did not help either. The permission on database_persist are set via sudo chown -R $USER:$USER database_persist/ so that should not be an issue as well.

Thanks (and merry Christmas 🙂 )

Edit: I tried reinstalling docker and updating docker-compose to version 2.2.2 (edited accordingly), but it had no effect. One of the commentors asked if I can connect to the container. Yes, I can, but not as root.

    Okay - for some weird reason the output stays the same, but when I try to login the dbroot and the dbuser actually use their passwords specified in the env-files. Plus using anything else will result in a "access denied". So I don't know if the update fixed the issue or if the logoutput just scared me and this is actually the expected behaviour. I will update this if I get any new insights.

    The .env file can be parsed as a part of the docker-compose.yaml. Though I personally never used this the way you do, as you can also pass a file directly into the container. With the env_file key

    version: '3'
services:
  database:
    env_file: .env
    image: mariadb:10.6.1
    ports:
      - "${DB_EXPOSE_PORT}:3306"
    volumes:
      - "./database_persist:/var/lib/mysqldata"

    Obviously, you then also need to change the variable names in your .env file. And I personally would rename it to a more clear name.
