Changing value of DB_HOST in .env - Docker environment

I run my project using Laravel 8 and Docker.

When I am inside Docker container and run DB related artisan commands I must update my .env file with this:

DB_HOST=mysql (service name from docker-compose.yml)

If I leave it like that I will get error trying to access website on 127.0.0.0.1:8000 and to fix it I need to go back again to .env and change DB_HOST to:

DB_HOST=127.0.0.1

Is something missing in my docker-compose.yml file in order to avoid keep editing .env? What am I doing wrong?

docker-compose.yml: https://www.codepile.net/pile/M1V6Dk1q

Thanks!

Yes, or pgsql if you use postgresql

Please correct your post to have a look to your setup, but the standard one works with this setting.

Do you mean this is how it should be? Not really convenient. The file was generated by Laravel Sail so I have no idea what to change.

I compare your file versus mine, except the fact that I use postgresql I saw this difference :

<             context: ./vendor/laravel/sail/runtimes/8.0
---
>             context: ./docker/8.0

to create my project on linux I use this cde : curl -s https://laravel.build/example-app | bash
