Discord Q&A strapi-questions

Hi all.

I’ve got this problem bootstraping Strapi v4 with the CLI using MySQL (v8.4.2 - LTS) in a Docker Container with compose and I’ve set the command: ["mysqld", "--mysql-native-password=ON"] .

CLI: pnpm dlx strapi new strapi-v4-experiments

I’ve also tried using the root user and the root password.

What am I missing here?
