Issues connecting to MySQL container

Hi, I’m trying to make local docker DB instance for developer, I’ve build a small script and basically it ends up running
docker run
–detach
–name=$CONTAINER_NAME
–env=“MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=$ROOT_PASSWORD”
–env=“MYSQL_DB_SCHEMA=$DB_SCHEMA”
–publish 6603:3306
–volume=$CONF_D_PATH:/etc/mysql/conf.d
–volume=$HOME/docker/$CONTAINER_NAME/mysql-data:/var/lib/mysql
mysql:5.7.32

On my Ubuntu 18.04 with docker 19.03 it works fine, but we tried the same run to my colleague on her Ubuntu 16.04 and docker 18.x and we are having issue connecting to mysql. So basically I’ve tried to play with permissions, but even can’t connect to DB from container itself.
I run docker exec -it bash and then mysql -u root -p
ERROR 1130 (HY000): Host ‘xxxx’ is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server

I checked port is open using telnet. Tried to add --env=“MYSQL_ROOT_HOST=%” still doesn’t help. I’m running out of ideas, and with remote work I really can’t constantly access her computer to try to fix the issue. I mean if there are any ideas I can try them, but I can’t gain access for hours and play with it on my own time.

Any ideas will be appreciated

It looks like container doesn’t use the socket setting fro my.cnf. I can see that bind-address works fine, but socket file gets picked up from different location though it’s added to my.cnf. Here are my docker logs if that helps

I had the same issue with a recent project and as far as i know you may wanna check the library you’re using for mysql in your application. In my case i was working with Node 12.x and mysql library from NPM when i had this issue, i changed the library from mysql to mysql2 from NPM and it worked fine.
