can you login into your mysql.
mysql -uroot -p
and enter SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 'PORT';
It took me a while to figure out this. The Linux os (Mint) encrypted mysql server and the docker server folders so connection would fail at an attempt to access the db on either option. Decrypting these folders was the way out. This could be concerned with file permission within the os
