Hi @emg777, thanks for the report.

Could you provide a minimal compose file with which you’re getting this error so we can try to replicate the issue? Thanks!

HI @laurazard With this repository https://github.com/SecurityRiskAdvisors/VECTR/releases
Did you mean this with minimal compose?

[laurazard]

ahh, looking at the .env file in that release, I think I see where that's coming from
.env:

[...]
JWS_KEY=WSӠ$8É*X&*8HѲk!^£
[...]

cc @ulyssessouza, do you think this will be fixed by your recent changes?

[laurazard]

@emg777, as per @ulyssessouza's message here:

In Docker Compose V2 dollar signs have to be escaped by doubling it ($$).
Another solution would be surrounding the whole string with single quotes (''), like in:

JWS_KEY='WSӠ$8É*X&*8HѲk!^£'

Can you try that and see if it works?
