How to access the hostname of mariadb in the nginx server

the mariadb and phpnginx are the service. I can see in the docs it is saying to use mariadb_password with prefix. But not working. It is in the same project, both service, how to connect/reference the hostname for now? I'm beginner, pardon for inconvenience

$CFG->dbtype    = 'mariadb';      // 'pgsql', 'mariadb', 'mysqli', 'auroramysql', 'sqlsrv' or 'oci'
$CFG->dblibrary = 'native';     // 'native' only at the moment
$CFG->dbhost    = getenv('MOODLE_DB_HOST') ?: 'localhost';  // eg 'localhost' or 'db.isp.com' or IP
$CFG->dbname    = 'moodle';     // database name, eg moodle
$CFG->dbuser    = 'mariadb';   // your database username

$CFG->dbtype    = 'mariadb';      // 'pgsql', 'mariadb', 'mysqli', 'auroramysql', 'sqlsrv' or 'oci'
$CFG->dblibrary = 'native';     // 'native' only at the moment
$CFG->dbhost    = getenv('MOODLE_DB_HOST') ?: 'localhost';  // eg 'localhost' or 'db.isp.com' or IP
$CFG->dbname    = 'moodle';     // database name, eg moodle
$CFG->dbuser    = 'mariadb';   // your database username

this is the config.php file ^ and I have this in the run

      envVariables:
        MOODLE_DB_TYPE: mariadb
        MOODLE_DB_HOST: mariadb
        MOODLE_DB_PORT: 3306
        MOODLE_DB_NAME: moodle
        MOODLE_DB_USER: mariadb

      envVariables:
        MOODLE_DB_TYPE: mariadb
        MOODLE_DB_HOST: mariadb
        MOODLE_DB_PORT: 3306
        MOODLE_DB_NAME: moodle
        MOODLE_DB_USER: mariadb

Hi, if you want to use env variable of a different service, it must be prefixed by a name of that service. E.g. you have phpnginx and mariadb services and want to use vairables from mariadb in phpnginx, this would be in your zerops.yaml

      envVariables:
        MOODLE_DB_TYPE: mariadb
        MOODLE_DB_HOST: ${mariadb_hostname}
        MOODLE_DB_PORT: ${mariadb_port}
        MOODLE_DB_NAME: ${mariadb_dbName}
        MOODLE_DB_USER: ${mariadb_user}
        MOODLE_DB_PASSWORD: ${mariadb_password}

      envVariables:
        MOODLE_DB_TYPE: mariadb
        MOODLE_DB_HOST: ${mariadb_hostname}
        MOODLE_DB_PORT: ${mariadb_port}
        MOODLE_DB_NAME: ${mariadb_dbName}
        MOODLE_DB_USER: ${mariadb_user}
        MOODLE_DB_PASSWORD: ${mariadb_password}

If you go to the mariadb service and scroll in the left menu to Environment variables, you will find all variables you can reference there. And if you want to use env variable from the current service, e.g. from phpnginx inside of phpnginx, you can use it directly without a prefix, like so:

      envVariables:
        MOODLE_WWWROOT: ${documentRoot}

      envVariables:
        MOODLE_WWWROOT: ${documentRoot}
