Issue running php artisan migrate - Chirper App

Hello everyone,

I am building my first Laravel app Chirper with Docker. I manage to set up the basic, but I however have issue with "PHP Artisan Migrate"

This is the error:

Illuminate\Database\QueryException 

  SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo for mysql failed: nodename nor servname provided, or not known (Connection: mysql, SQL: select * from information_schema.tables where table_schema = chirper and table_name = migrations and table_type = 'BASE TABLE')

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     */
    public function down(): void
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('chirps');
    }
};

Any pointer anyone? please note that the login/ logout, dashboard is working properly. I am trying to run new migrate.

Hello everyone,

I think I found the solution: the command needs to be run within the container, so this is the full command:

docker-compose exec <laravel_service_name> php artisan migrate
