Thanks for replying nezhar.
I've looking into how to do it.

The following work!!!

changes made were to give wordpress and mysql a specific version instead of using latest.

==============

services:
wp:
image: wordpress:5.2.4 # https://hub.docker.com/_/wordpress/
....
db:
image: mysql:8
restart: unless-stopped

==================

from wordpress-docker-compose.

Here is the log again with \n

It looks like there is something wrong with the Apache user: wp_1 | AH00543: apache2: bad user name 1000

Try to set the APACHE_RUN_USER nad the APACHE_RUN_GROUP environment variables in docker-compose.yml.

Also, can you try to use a custom Dockerfile and use this entrypoint script: https://github.com/nezhar/laravel-docker-compose/blob/master/docker/php/entrypoint

Are you running on wsl2? Not sure if this can be related to file permissions.
