wordpress-mysql does not work on DigitalOcean or Vultr

[ProggerPete]

Using https://github.com/docker/awesome-compose/blob/master/wordpress-mysql/compose.yaml does not work on ubuntu droplets created on digital ocean or vultr.

There are no visible errors, but the wordpress container serves up a blank page.

Docker version is 23.0.1
Docker Compose version is v2.16.0
Linux version :
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)

I've also tried on an Ubuntu distro with the same result.
