How to optimize MySQL/MariaDB tables in docker-compose

If your MariaDB / MySQL root password is stored in .env , use this command:

source .env && docker-compose exec mariadb mysqlcheck -uroot -p$MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD --auto-repair --optimize --all-databases

You can also directly use the root password in the command:

docker-compose exec mariadb mysqlcheck -uroot -phoox8AiFahuniPaivatoh2iexighee --auto-repair --optimize --all-databases
