What steps will reproduce the bug?

i'm trying to start a bitnami/mysql container as root user, and below is my docker-compose.yml

services:
  mysql:
    image: bitnami/mysql:8.4-debian-12
    user: root
    ports:
      - 3306:3306
    environment:
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=1qaz2wsx

but i got this

mysql 13:33:30.06 INFO  ==> 
mysql 13:33:30.06 INFO  ==> Welcome to the Bitnami mysql container

mysql 13:33:30.14 INFO  ==> Setting long_query_time option
mysql 13:33:30.14 INFO  ==> Installing database

and it's stuck there, and the container's failed to start.

i've tried to change the image to version bitnami/mysql:8.0-debian-12, and everything's the same. it's still stuck there.

when i delete the line user: root, and everything's gonna be ok.

i've read this page Work With Non-Root Containers

my question is, is it realy possible to using this image to start a root container?

What is the expected behavior?

Hi!

Did you try running the container with BITNAMI_DEBUG=true?
