Laradock: MariaDB connection documentation

[fuzzyjared]

Info:

• Docker version: 17.06.0-ce, build 02c1d87:
• Laradock commit: 38fb49bccc5124dfa26b92b809ea6efbd6307eba:
• System info: Mac
• System info disto/version: 10.12.6

Issue:

I am running: docker-compose up -d nginx mariadb

I had issues when launching docker with nginx and mariadb. The documentation and walk throughs that I was able to find for this configuration indicated that the DB_HOST value within the laravel environment should be set to mysql as it is a stand. This resulted in a SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known.

While investigating this error I found several closed posts that resulted in updates to the configuration in docker file but as they were all addressed it didn't appear to match my issue.

Through trial and error I was able to connect to it by using.
DB_HOST=mariadb
in my laravel project .env file

My question would be: should we provide additional information regarding the connection settings in the laradock/.env file or in the documentation for the configuration of each database?

Even if it were commented out I think it could save a lot of time for people starting out with laradock.
