MariaDB "MySQL server has gone away" during admin user creation with docker

Hi,
Im currently trying to install Nextcloud in my VM with docker(-compose). I use the example docker-compose file from the offical github repo changed to my needs. When I try to create the admin user I get the Error: Error while trying to create admin user: Failed to connect to the database: An exception occurred in driver: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2006] MySQL server has gone away
I already tried tips for when this happens with mariadb like changing innodb_log_file_size and max_allowed_packetbut that also didnt suceed.

Then I tried to connect to the mariadb server with the mysql cli this returns

 ERROR 1130 (HY000): Host '192.168.1.225' is not allowed to connect to this MariaDB server

But skip-networking and bind-adress are also not defined in my.cnf

Quite a few people seem to have this prolem. But I couldnt find a solution so far.

This is my docker-compose:

version: '3'

volumes:
  nextcloud:
  db:

services:
  nextcloud_mariadb:
    image: mariadb
    command: --transaction-isolation=READ-COMMITTED --binlog-format=ROW
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - /home/user/nextcloud/db:/var/lib/mysql
      - /home/user/nextcloud/my.cnf:/etc/mysql/my.cnf
    environment:
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD='xxx'
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD='xxx'
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=nextcloud
      - MYSQL_USER=nextcloud
    ports:
      - 3306:3306
    networks:
      - nextcloud

  nextcloud:
    image: nextcloud:fpm-alpine
    links:
      - nextcloud_mariadb
    volumes:
      - /home/user/mnt/VM-Data/nextcloud:/var/www/html
    restart: always
    ports:
      -  9000:9000
    networks: 
      - nextcloud 
  nextcloud_nginx:
    image: nginx
    ports:
      - 8082:80
    links:
      - nextcloud
    volumes:
      - /home/user/nextcloud/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:ro
      - /home/user/mnt/VM-Data/nextcloud:/var/www/html:ro
    restart: always
    networks:
      - nextcloud

Is this the right way to import the my.cnf file? I was confused by the explanation here: Docker
Edit: I tried printing the my.cnf from the docker container and it indeed updated it. So that seems to work.

This is my my.cnf:

# MariaDB database server configuration file.
#
# You can copy this file to one of:
# - "/etc/mysql/my.cnf" to set global options,
# - "~/.my.cnf" to set user-specific options.
# 
# One can use all long options that the program supports.
# Run program with --help to get a list of available options and with
# --print-defaults to see which it would actually understand and use.
#
# For explanations see
# http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/server-system-variables.html

# This will be passed to all mysql clients
# It has been reported that passwords should be enclosed with ticks/quotes
# escpecially if they contain "#" chars...
