Magento CLI --db-host doesn't work

[frehner]

Trying to install Magento using Magento CLI. Here's the command I'm making

bin/magento setup:install --base-url=http://192.168.99.100:32773/ --db-host=mysql1 --db-name=magento --db-user=xxx --db-password=xxx --admin-firstname=xxx --admin-lastname=xxx --admin-email=xxx@xxx.com --admin-user=xxx --admin-password=xxx --language=en_US --currency=USD --timezone=America/Chicago --use-sample-data

But the error I get when I run this is:

SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'xxx'@'phpfpm_mysql1' (using password: YES)

I've tried replacing "mysql1" with environment variables, with the IP address of the mysql host, etc., and they all give me the same error as above.

The only thing that does actually seem to change the host is when I put in --db-host=localhost... but that obviously doesn't work since MySQL isn't running on that localhost.

Bug? Or am I doing something wrong?

@frehner are you able to connect to the mysql host directly from your localhost? are necessary ports exposed with correct permissions? also, in the error you provided, it is attempting to connect to phpfpm_mysql1

@mazhalai As I've dug into it, there appears to be something wrong with the networking in my box. Closing this ticket for the moment as it doesn't appear to be a Magento issue. Thanks for your help.
