'mysql_native_password' is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Please use caching_sha2_password instead

This warning pops up in the logs of the database container when using MySQL 8. A recent update update of the MySQL image changed the default behavior to disable the login method mysql_native_password. It can be re-enabled with a flag when starting the server or via config file, but this will likely not last forever.

A solution would be to check how to access the database via the suggested caching_sha2_password method. I have found the following discussion on the topic: laravel/framework#51844
It could be as easy as changing the database driver in PHP from php-mysql over to php-mysqlnd, so this may be an issue better suited for the PHP nginx base container image?
