Issue with mysql in docker-compose on Mac - mysql

Question

I have an issue when trying to use a mysql docker container as part of a docker-compose on my MacBook (2,6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7 under Ventura 13.0.1). Here is what my docker-compose.yml file looks like:
version: '3.1'
services:
db:
image: mysql:8.0
environment:
- MYSQL_DATABASE=${MYSQL_DATABASE}
- MYSQL_USER=${MYSQL_USER}
- MYSQL_PASSWORD=${MYSQL_PASSWORD}
- MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=${MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD}
expose:
- 3306
healthcheck:
test: mysqladmin ping -h 127.0.0.1 -u ${MYSQL_USER} --password=${MYSQL_PASSWORD}
interval: 5s
timeout: 5s
retries: 55
restart: unless-stopped
flask:
build:
context: ./
dockerfile: Dockerfile
volumes:
- ./:/var/www/
working_dir: /var/www/
command: python3 app.py
depends_on:
- "db"
restart: unless-stopped
nginx:
image: nginx:1.13.7
container_name: nginx
volumes:
- ./nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
- ./static:/var/www/html
ports:
- 80:80
depends_on:
- "flask"
restart: unless-stopped
When trying to run docker-compose up, the mysql container crashes, and I get the following error in the logs:
compose_2023-db-1 | 2023-02-09T22:33:31.523197Z 0 [ERROR] [MY-013236] [Server] The designated data directory /var/lib/mysql/ is unusable. You can remove all files that the server added to it.
compose_2023-db-1 | 2023-02-09T22:33:31.523257Z 0 [ERROR] [MY-010119] [Server] Aborting
compose_2023-db-1 | 2023-02-09T22:33:31.523345Z 0 [System] [MY-010910] [Server] /usr/sbin/mysqld: Shutdown complete (mysqld 8.0.32) MySQL Community Server - GPL.
As visible in my docker-compose.yml, I am not even trying to persist the database in a volume. I have actually tried, both using host file system and a docker volume, with the exact same error each time.
I have tried restarting Docker, my computer, updating Docker, removing all images and containers without success. I also tried several tags for mysql images (namely latest, 7.6 and 8.0) with the same result.
What really bugs me is that this exact same setup used to work fine until earlier today, but I am not able to tell what action caused it to start erroring out every time. More strangely, I can run a mysql container with a similar setup from with the following command:
-e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root \
-e MYSQL_DATABASE=db \
-e MYSQL_USER=myuser \
-e MYSQL_PASSWORD=mypass \
-v $(pwd)/db:/var/lib/mysql \
-p 3306:3306 \
mysql:5.7
It seems that I am not the only one having this type of problem according to this issue on GitHub: https://github.com/docker-library/mysql/issues/757. As suggested on the last comment and since none of the pieces of advice I could find there worked for me, I would be super grateful for any leads on how to fix this.
