Docker wordpress mysql connect issue

General
1

I am absolutely new to Docker and trying to create a wordpress mysql container in Docker Desktop for Windows 2.1.5 using a docker-compose file. Wordpess is unable to connect to mysql
Access denied for user ‘root’@‘172.17.0.3’ (using password: YES). When I use the following Docker run commands to start the containers, it works:
docker run --name mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=mysqlron -d mysql:5.7
docker run --name wordpress --link mysql:mysql -p 8000:80 -d wordpress

Here is my Docker-compose file
web:
image: wordpress
links:

  • mysql
    environment:
  • WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD=dbron
    ports:
  • “127.0.0.3:8080:80”
    mysql:
    image: mysql:5.7
    environment:
  • MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=mysqlron
  • MYSQL_DATABASE=my-wpdb

Here are part of the messages
