[BUG] MYSQL not starting - it says it has files in data folder, even when I clean it out --initialize specified but the data directory has files in it. Aborting.

Here is the full log of the error. It basically just try to restart constantly but is coming up with the same error. If I manually delete the folder it recreates it (with the auto.cnf) and gives back the same error:

Steps to reproduce

Expected behavior well it should work without mysql constantly trying to restart.

docker -v Docker version 25.0.2, build 29cf629

I was able to resolve this by resetting my whole system. Raspberrypi OS Lite on a raspy 4, with OMV and docker. Not sure why this came up, I assume it were some permission issues.

Anyway it is currently working fine. If this comes back I might post it here, hopefully with more details.
