Description

I am new to Gitea but not to Linux or Docker. I followed the instructions to install from the Gitea page.

When launching I get the install page in a browser but I get the following error when hitting the "Install Gitea" button.

The database settings are invalid: Error 1130: Host '192.168.80.3' is not allowed to connect to this MariaDB server

There is someone else who has reported the same error with MySql on the forum page so it is not because I have switched to using MariaDB, which I believe is supported.

I am using the latest tag in docker which appears to be synonymous with 1.2.0 currently.
I am also using the latest tag for MariaDB which is 11.1.2 currently.

My docker-compose.yml is as follows:

`version: "3"

networks:
gitea:
external: false

services:
gitea:
image: gitea/gitea:latest
container_name: gitea
environment:
- USER_UID=3000
- USER_GID=3000
- GITEA__database__DB_TYPE=mysql
- GITEA__database__HOST=gitdb:3306
- GITEA__database__NAME=gitea
- GITEA__database__USER=gitea
- GITEA__database__PASSWD=gitea
restart: unless-stopped
networks:
- gitea
volumes:
- /mnt/gitea/data:/data
- /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
- /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
ports:
- "5000:3000"
- "222:22"
depends_on:
- gitdb

gitdb:
image: mariadb:latest
container_name: gitdb
restart: unless-stopped
environment:
- MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=gitea
- MYSQL_USER=gitea
- MYSQL_PASSWORD=gitea
- MYSQL_DATABASE=gitea
networks:
- gitea
volumes:
- /mnt/gitea/db:/var/lib/mysql`

I believe if I shell into the MariaDB and update the permissions in the database it will work but I'm raising this as it should work out of the box and not need manual intervention

There is an error in the MariaDB log at this time

Aborted connection 5 to db: 'unconnected' user: 'unauthenticated' host: '192.168.112.3' (This connection closed normally without authentication)

Switching to mysql makes this work as expected so this must come down to a difference between the default configuration of MariaDB and MySQL

This is a problem with the MariaDB docker image. It seems to ignore the environment variables set. It works fine if I create the user and database manually. No problem with gitea.
