access WP-CLI functions in WordPress docker in Ubuntu

Windows 10 Home with Hyper-V enabled; WSL2; Docker Desktop with WSL2 support enabled; Ubuntu 20.04

• WP and WPCLI should be sharing the same volume, and the same network
• I need to pass the same variables to WPCLI as to WP (changes from March 2021 here)
• The IP address that WSL uses changes whenever the computer is restarted.
• Ubuntu user has to be specified for WPCLI, www-data for WP and www-data user for WPCLI have different ids https://www.buzzphp.com/posts/how-to-run-wp-cli-in-docker-composeyml

$ docker-compose up -d

Then in WP root:

$ wp user list

Error: This does not seem to be a WordPress installation.

I was not able to pass the path recognized properly as well (see below).

I tried 2 ways to achieve this, both are getting me closer but still not there.

docker-compose.yml for this https://github.com/sabrina-zeidan/wsl2-docker-wpcli-issue/blob/main/docker-compose-not-named-volumes.yml

Why it doesn’t work:

I believe that not named volumes, though having the same location don’t get bundled together, so WPCLI has no idea there is WP there.

docker-compose.yml for this: https://github.com/sabrina-zeidan/wsl2-docker-wpcli-issue/blob/main/docker-compose-named-volumes.yml

Why it doesn’t work:

This seems like it should work in the end. The problem I encountered here is that** I just can’t navigate to WP installation folder in Ubuntu.**

In WSL2 containers are not accessible from ubuntu by default, they can be located in Windows but not in Ubuntu
This worked for me: microsoft/WSL#4176 (comment)
But just once, after PC restart it doesn’t work anymore, I tried the last answer in that thread — didn’t make a trick. This is related microsoft/WSL#3854 (comment)

This MySQL sleep thing worked for me! But just one time as well.
