Issues installing Limesurvey, database created but no tables
populated. Why?

So I've got two machines I can run docker on. One is my Synology, but
my primary machine is a fairly beefy unraid server. On unraid I
installed both Mariadb and Limesurvey, and the instance connects
properly and creates the database, but the tables never populated and
the application complains that the main configuration table doesn't
exist. No errors in the logs or anywhere else, just the front end
complaining about no configuration database.

I install MariaDB on Synology and point the unraid Limesurvey there
and same exact thing. I install Limesurvey on Synology and it installs
and populates and works perfectly. Same image, same settings, copy and
pasted variables, it works perfect.

I've tried LTS versions, I've tried multiple versions of MariaDB, and
it just doesn't work on unraid. Now that I think of it I had the same
issue for osTicket, database issues on unraid but works perfect on
Synology. I'm really confounded because it's not like it just can't
connect, it can. It even creates the DB. It just can't populate the
tables.

I just don't know where to start here and wondering if anyone has
experienced similar with unraid. I plan to decommission Synology at
some point and would prefer having nothing running there. At least one
other app, PiWiGo, is able to access MariaDB normally entirely on
unraid. Any help on where to start is greatly appreciated.
