Connection refused when running Laravel artisan command with Docker
First edit your docker-compose.yml.
mysql: image: mariadb:latest ports: - 8889:3306After that set the correct DB port in .env.
Your DB port is wrong. You are trying to connect the exposed port inside the docker. In this case you should use DB_PORT=3306 in your .env.
this worked for me:put the name of my mysql container instead of 127.0.0.1
NAME CONTAINERSproject-db --> container mysqlproject-app --> container laravelDB_CONNECTION=mysqlDB_HOST=project-dbDB_PORT=3306DB_DATABASE=projectDB_USERNAME=rootDB_PASSWORD=root
Try change port to 3306 and use DB_HOST=localhost to yourdomain.com(your IP)
And don't forget Sudo Clear cache and config cache
DB_HOST=My_ip_for_virtual_machine (yourdomain.com)sudo docker-compose exec app php artisan config:clearsudo docker-compose exec app php artisan cache:clear
