Laravel Sail: Run Mysql PHP Migration inside docker container - php

Question

I have currently a laravel sail project, means a docker container split up in different environments.
I just created a migration under /database/migrations, in order to create an App Model for an e-mail form.
Hoewever, I am not able to run a php migration inside my main docker container
I receive the following error message:
Illuminate\Database\QueryException
SQLSTATE[HY000] [1049] Unknown database 'laravel' (SQL: select * from information_schema.tables where table_schema = laravel and table_name = migrations and table_type = 'BASE TABLE')
at vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Database/Connection.php:692
688▕ // If an exception occurs when attempting to run a query, we'll format > the error
689▕ // message to include the bindings with SQL, which will make this exception a
690▕ // lot more helpful to the developer instead of just the database's errors.
691▕ catch (Exception $e) {
➜ 692▕ throw new QueryException(
693▕ $query, $this->prepareBindings($bindings), $e
694▕ );
695▕ }
696▕ }
• Database name seems incorrect: You're using the default database name laravel. >This database does not exist.
Edit the .env file and use the correct database name in the DB_DATABASE key.
https://laravel.com/docs/master/database#configuration
I have the correct host url inside .env ($ docker inspect -f '{{range.NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' <container_name_or_container_ID>
), replacing it with my mysql-docker container name led to the same issue.
What do I need to edit, in order to run a migration correctly ?

For anyone who encounters the same issue:
I had to replace the database name of "laravel" to "mysql" !
However, it works now!
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=vs-webpage-mysql-1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=mysql
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=
