Research direction

Start by inspecting the repository's .env file and the Docker Compose configuration that references it as an env_file. Confirm the entries follow the standard format expected by Docker Compose, then verify that the environment variables load successfully. Done means the file no longer uses YAML-style key-value syntax and Compose can read its variables.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The file uses YAML colon syntax (KEY: value) instead of .env equals syntax (KEY=value). Docker Compose env_file expects standard .env format. This will cause all environment variables to fail loading.

Might be me, but that as is that .env file was not behaving. Possibly some versions or OS are more lenient if it worked for you.
