This 'Mysql:5.7' does not work for ARM Architecture - see error here - docker-library/mysql#350

(Pulling db (mysql:5.7)...
5.7: Pulling from library/mysql
ERROR: no matching manifest for linux/arm64/v8 in the manifest list entries)

I also swapped out the mysql database for the 'yobasystems' one that you used for NGINX-proxy-manager; but the Monica App could not connect to the DB with errors like the following >

Access denied for user 'homestead'@'172.23.0.3

(even though MySQL_USER and PASSWORD were changed).
I also added the json.config file as per the NGINX instructions, but same error as above.

I managed to solve my issue by deleting everything previously, all orphaned folders under the docker folder and all volumes/images etc. I then used this stack:

version: "2"

services:
monica:
container_name: monica
image: monica
depends_on:
- monicadb
ports:
- 8008:80
environment:
- APP_KEY=some random 32 character string
- DB_HOST=monicadb
volumes:
- /home/xyz/docker/monica:/var/www/html/storage
restart: always

monicadb:
container_name: monicadb
image: mysql:5.7
environment:
- MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD=true
- MYSQL_DATABASE=monica
- MYSQL_USER=homestead
- MYSQL_PASSWORD=secret
volumes:
- /home/xyz/docker/monicadb:/var/lib/mysql
restart: always

It fired straight up first time without issue.
