N8n crashing during container initialization with Docker and MySQL

Hi @Ryan_Corp, welcome to the community!

I am sorry to hear you’re having trouble. Can you share the output you are seeing before the n8n container crashes? This should hopefully have a few more details.

On a different note, I think we are considering dropping support for MySQL as an n8n backend database at some point. So you might want to consider using PostgreSQL instead. n8n/docker/compose/withPostgres at master · n8n-io/n8n · GitHub would have an example configuration for docker compose that should help getting started with this database.
