Laradock (Docker Compose) - doesn't MySQL data from different projects overwrite each other? Do they have the SINGLE Volume (${DATA_PATH_HOST}/mysql)?

Question

Docker

I study the Laradock config, and there:

volumes:
        - ${DATA_PATH_HOST}/mysql:/var/lib/mysql

That is, I understand that he saves the base outside the box, right? So that if I suddenly reboot everything there, the data remains, right?

What if I do another project? It will also write there, in:

${DATA_PATH_HOST}/mysql

right?

That is, everything will be erased from the first project?

If so, what is usually done with it when they want to keep both this and that?

Do they specify a different DATA_PATH_HOST value in .env?

Or in some other way?

Thank you.

Yes.
