Lando MySQL connection does not persist between stop/start of containers

[jlundoe]

If I use Lando default config (e.g. lando init), ".lando.yml" looks like this:

name: wp-app
recipe: wordpress
config:
  webroot: .

Everything works on first containers running.
But after lando stop and lando start, the data from MySQL does not persist.

If I add database: mysql to the ".landa.yml":

name: wp-app
recipe: wordpress
config:
  webroot: .
  database: mysql

The data persist between container stop/start.

Am i missing something obvious or is this a bug?

That shouldn't make a difference. The data should persist. Are you running the latest version of Lando and the Wordpress plugin?

[jlundoe]

Yes, running the latest version of Lando.

Lando: 3.20.8
Wordpress: 6.7.1
Docker Desktop (MacOS): 4.37.2
