MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD not working

[brlebtag]

I'm trying to create the following database using docker-compose:

version: '3.1'
services:
mysql:
    image: mysql:5.7.21
    restart: always
    ports:
      - '3306:3306'
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: ${MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD}
    volumes:
      - ./dbs/mysql:/var/lib/mysql

my .env:

MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password

but when I run: docker-compose up mysql

it prints:

my directory (ls -lah):

-rw-r--r--  1 brlebtag bruno  111 Abr  6 19:58 .env

my docker version (docker --version):

Docker version 18.09.4, build d14af54

my docker-compose version (docker-compose --version):

docker-compose version 1.24.0, build 0aa59064

I don't know why...

The environment variable is passed properly and the container works as you'd expect

$ docker-compose up -d
Creating network "mysql-557_default" with the default driver
Creating mysql-557_mysql_1_b43993989be0 ... done

$ docker exec -it mysql-557_mysql_1_c15a8eaab158 bash

root@a2bee0dfac8e:/# env | grep -i password

The warning you're seeing in the logs:

Initializing database
. . .
root@localhost is created with an empty password ! Please consider switching off the --initialize-insecure option.
. . .
Database initialized

Is from:

mysql/5.7/docker-entrypoint.sh

Lines 108 to 110 in a7a737f

	echo 'Initializing database'
	"$@" --initialize-insecure
	echo 'Database initialized'

Gonna close since there isn't an issue with the image and your compose file works fine
