cannot use some drush commands

I am running into some trouble with drush I can’t pm-enable the modules I just downloaded with it. I did some research but none of the solution worked for me, most cases involved switching “localhost” to “127.0.0.1” in settings.php but my database is located on a docker container. I am running drush from the root folder.

Here the output I get when running drush en module1, module2

    root@c4765ef094a2:/var/www/html# drush en pathauto, token,      simple_gmap, addtoany, scheduler, devel, devel_generate     Command pm-enable needs a higher bootstrap level to run - you will      need to invoke drush from a more functional   [error]     Drupal environment to run this command.     The drush command 'en pathauto, token, simple_gmap, addtoany,      scheduler, devel, devel_generate' could not be     [error]     executed.     Drush was not able to start (bootstrap) the Drupal database.                                                          [error]     Hint: This may occur when Drush is trying to:      * bootstrap a site that has not been installed or does not have a      configured database. In this case you can     select another site with a working database setup by specifying the      URI to use with the --uri parameter on the     command line. See `drush topic docs-aliases` for details.      * connect the database through a socket. The socket file may be      wrong or the php-cli may have no access to it in     a jailed shell. See http://drupal.org/node/1428638 for details.      Drush was attempting to connect to:       Drupal version         :  8.4.0                                                                                      Site URI               :  http://default                                                                             Database driver        :  mysql                                                                                      Database hostname      :  mariadb                                                                                    Database port          :  3306                                                                                       Database username      :  root                                                                                       Database name          :  drupal                                                                                     PHP executable         :  /usr/local/bin/php                                                                         PHP configuration      :                                                                                             PHP OS                 :  Linux                                                                                      Drush script           :        /var/www/html/vendor/drush/drush/drush.php                                                 Drush version          :  8.1.15                                                                                     Drush temp directory   :  /tmp                                                                                       Drush configuration    :                                                                                             Drush alias files      :                                                                                             Drupal root            :  /var/www/html                                                                              Drupal Settings File   :  sites/default/settings.php                                                                 Site path              :  sites/default                                                                              Sync config path       :  sites/default/files/config_oL5MBo-      2_ALSPTKnAwZb1o3WVs19lndEmQpb4zfSv42kL9A8F0bp4g_de                         mvUvf96DBkH3qyYww/sync 

Here’s the output of drush sql-connect

mysql --user=root --password=root --database=drupal --host=mariadb -- port=3306 

I have been stuck on this for 2 hours so any help would be greatly appreciated
