Laravel does not work; EVER. Install MacOS/Win11/Win10 | Clean install, sail up, NEVER can php artisan migrate

No matter how I slice it I can never get to success with Laravel & Sail. I've spun up maybe 30 Laravel Installs over the last couple months. And its ALWAYS the same return. Here's exactly what I do each and every time...

1

MacOS

• curl -s "https://laravel.build/example-app" | bash

Win11

• curl -s https://laravel.build/example-app | bash

Win10

• curl -s https://laravel.build/example-app | bash

2

• cd example-app
• ./vendor/bin/sail up

Illuminate\Database\QueryException

    741▕         catch (Exception $e) {
  ➜ 742▕             throw new QueryException(
    743▕                 $query, $this->prepareBindings($bindings), $e
    744▕             );
    745▕         }
    746▕     }

NOTHING WORKS. Every single last install is the same. Not ONCE ever once has it ever not thrown this error on ANY setup, any workstation at all. Not worked a single time. Hopefully I've established the importance there. I've not successfully ever been able to use Laravel -- I even purchase a new computer as a solve. NOPE. All fresh everything this same exact error always populates.

• I confirm my db user and pass and all that is good by inspecting using this...

docker inspect application-mysql-1

• Everything looks good

6

• CANNOT php artisan migrate

7

• I go to the .env file and change the db_host from "mysql" to 127.0.0.1 (from mysql that laravel inserts) and then I am able to migrate alls good but now my application will not reach the database. I have to manually revert back from 127.0.0.1 to mysql!!!!! EVERY last time. Simple: If I need to php artisan migrate I have to update my env file as explained right before this. And than revert back.

Laravel will just not work. No matter how much time (months now) no matter how much money. No matter what it just does not work. I don't know what to do here. I've purchases new gear, I've tried a hundred things. And nothing will fix Laravel and get it to a working state.
