Spring boot docker container cannot establish connection to mySQL docker container

Question

For some reason when the spring boot app is running in the container it can't connect to the MySQL container, I checked that the database container was up and running successfully by trying to connect to it from MySQL workbench and query data from it however that app itself fails to start up

com.mysql.cj.jdbc.exceptions.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure

docker-compose.yml

version: '3.3'

services:
   db:
     image: mydb
     container_name: mysql-db2
     environment:
        MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: root
     ports:
      - 3306:3306

   demo:
        image: springboot
        container_name: my-spring-boot-app
        depends_on:
            - db
        ports:
            - 8080:8080
        environment:
            SPRING_DATASOURCE_URL: jdbc:mysql://mysql-db2:3306/mydb

application.properties

Dockerfile (MySQL)

FROM mysql
MAINTAINER me
ENV MYSQL_DATABASE=mydb \
    MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root

ADD springboot.sql /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d

Dockerfile (Spring boot)

Is it possible your application is starting up before the database is ready, as in docker compose problem while using spring boot mysql docker? It looks like you're setting spring.datasource.url correctly and the Compose file looks reasonable. — David Maze

@DavidMaze I tried both suggestions mentioned in the answer you shared, It looks like I'm getting this error now my-spring-boot-app | java.sql.SQLException: Access denied for user 'root'@'192.168.192.3' (using password: YES) — basit9

Solution is to add below property to application.properties file.

NOTE: This solution needs restart of Spring Boot container alone separately after running docker-compose file. I think this is needed as MySQL takes some time to start-up.

spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect

application.properties

spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl.auto=update
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://mysql-db2:3306/mydb
spring.datasource.username=root
spring.datasource.password=root
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver

docker-compose.yml

version: '3.3'

services:
  db:
    image: mydb
    build: /Users/MyiCloud/IdeaProjects/so/mysql/
