The database isn't started. I have an error for db service

[root@comp squest]# docker-compose logs -f db

squest_db_1 exited with code 1

**Expected behavior**
db starting correctly and Squest is Up

**Additional context**
here the content of : ./docker/environnement_variables/db.env
MYSQL_DATABASE=squest_db
MYSQL_USER=squest_user
MYSQL_PASSWORD=squest_password
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=p@ssw0rd
MYSQL_HOST=127.0.0.1
MYSQL_PORT=3306

is it a problem with the db config ?

I try with MYSQL_HOST, MYSQL_PORT and without

- Squest version 1.7.5: 
- Ansible Tower/AWX version: NA

[EliasBoulharts]

Can you give me your docker version ? (docker -v)

[kogarastu]

Docker version 20.10.7, build f0df350

[EliasBoulharts]

Should you update your docker, I think it is fixed in the 20.10.10+ versions. (See here)

[kogarastu]

Great @EliasBoulharts, i'll test it right away !!!

[kogarastu]

is Squest docker deployment works with Podman ? (on RHEL 8.4)

[Sispheor]

We have a dedicated issue (#171) for Podman support. So far it's not supported. We'll work on it soon.
