You have multiple questions here. I will try to address some. Perhaps that will get you a step further in the right direction.

--volumes-from is not supported yet in IBM Containers. You can get around that by using the same --volume (-v) option on the first and subsequent containers, instead of using -v on the first container creation command and --volumes-from on the subsequent ones.

--user option is not supported also by IBM Containers.

I see your syntax for using --user (I suppose on localhost docker) is not correct. All options for the docker run command must come before the image name. Anything after the image name is considered a command to run inside the container. In this case "--user=mysql" will be considered as a command that the system will attempt to run and fail.

The last error message you shared shows that there is some file not found in the working dir which causes the app to abort. You may work around that by using a script as the command to run in the container which changes dir to the right location.
