When run docker-compose up, django container says

django.db.utils.OperationalError: (2002, "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)”)

And db container says

Version: '5.7.29' socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' port: 3306 MySQL Community Server (GPL)

It seems like they cannot connect to each other because of different socket location. I want to know if I can change socket file location.

If you run the app and the db in different containers they can't connect to each other by sockets by default. You have to use kind of db connection string with host and port or you have to share somehow the socket file between this two containers. As for me the first options is easier.

Probably this is what you're looking for. In this case db host will be a service name from docker-compose.yml.
