    The environment variables are used to configure access to existing resources within the database. If you need to have a database posshop and a user zadik in the db (mysql:8) instance, you will need to create these against the database server before you can access them, e.g. from web.

    It is slightly inconvenient to do this with Docker Compose but, in my experience, a successful solution is to use e.g. a docker volume to persist the database server configuration, create the database and user while the server’s configured to use this for persistence. Then, reference it subsequently in a configuration (as yours) that depends upon it.

    It’s possible but more challenging to have another container added to your Docker Compose that creates these assets and blocks e.g. web from starting until this is done.

    Your docker-compose.yml file is correct (at least for the db service). It will create everything you configured – root password, user, and database.

    See below:

    Using the exact same yaml as you for the db service:

    User-MacBook-Pro:testmysql myuser$ cat docker-compose.yml
version: '3.3'
services:
  db:
    image: mysql:8
    command: --default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password
    restart: always
    ports:
      - "3306:3306"
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: 'root'
      MYSQL_USER: 'zadik'
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: 'zadik'
      MYSQL_DATABASE: 'posshop'
      MYSQL_ROOT_HOST: '0.0.0.0'
    expose:
      - '3306'

    Start containers:

    User-MacBook-Pro:testmysql myuser$ docker-compose up -d
Creating network "testmysql_default" with the default driver
Creating testmysql_db_1 ... done

    Exec into mysql container:

    User-MacBook-Pro:testmysql myuser$ docker-compose exec db bash

    Connect with root and list databases (which shows posshop):

    root@aeba05c5cc08:/# mysql -u root -proot

    Additional note: As stated in the other answer you should also create a volume to persist data (although that wasn’t the question).
