Misssing App Key Exception - Portainer

[DSew20]

I'm trying to setup Firefly in docker, using the provided docker-compose including the importer. I am using Portainer to manage docker and have imported the various .env files.

I had to change the app port in the compose (e.g. to 8033:8080) to avoid a clash. Within the environments, I have set-up the cron token and matched in the compose, updated the database and db passwords, TZ and added a 32 char APP_KEY. But, when trying to deploy I get a fatal error as below. It seems that the APP_KEY is not seen? Or, is this something else? I have left the APP_URL as http://localhost and FIRE_FLY_URL as http://app:8080.

Can anybody provide a few pointers as to how to resolve this issue? Is it the key or perhaps the URLs?

No it doesn't seem to pick up on the variables. I don't use portainer myself, are you sure the environment variables reach the container?

You might have to change out the name of the .env files for "stack.env" for portainer to pickup the env variables
