[SOLVED] Why is my docker.compose file not creating my database?

Issue

I have a docker.compose file and when I start it I want it to create a database with some tables.

My docker compose:

services:
  mysql:
    image: mysql:latest
    container_name: mysqldb
    cap_add:
      - SYS_NICE # CAP_SYS_NICE
    # container_name: my_very_special_server
    ports:
      - 3307:3306
    environment:
      MYSQL_DATABASE: todo
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: password!
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: password!
    volumes:
      - ./DbScripts/DumpTodoOnly.sql:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/DumpTodoOnly.sql
      - db_data:/var/lib/mysql
    restart: always
  phpmyadmin:
    image: phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin
    container_name: dev_pma
    links:
      - mysql
    environment:
      PMA_HOST: mysql
      PMA_PORT: 3307
      PMA_ARBITRARY: 1
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 8183:80
  server:
    container_name: server
    build: 
      context: ./BE
      dockerfile: ./Dockerfile.prod
    depends_on:
      - mysql
    environment:
      MYSQL_HOST_IP: mysql
    ports:
      - 4000:4000
    links:
      - mysql
  client:
    container_name: FE
    build: 
      context: ./FE
      dockerfile: ./Dockerfile.prod
    ports:
      - 3000:3000
    environment:
      - CHOKIDAR_USEPOLLING=true
    tty: true
volumes:
  db_data:

the actual sql file:

When I run docker-compose up I see:

And in my php admin I dont see any users or todos table:

What have I missed?

Solution

Alright this is somewhat not great to find an answer when you post but for those with similar issue:

Apperently When you run the docker-compose up command the database configuration gets stored and survices a restart. To make this I had to:

docker-compose down -v
