Cannot create admin user: MySQL server has gone away

[call-me-matt]

Used this for my nextcloud development for some time now. Have issues setting it up again:

only difference is that I am using the docker-compose-plugin (docker compose up instead of docker-compose up).

This is what's shown in the logs:
