Hello all

I wanted to integrate Bitwarden\_rs in my docker environment on a raspi4 behind a traefik as reverse proxy together with a Postgres db.  
but the Bitwarden\_rs container is in a reset loop with the following log:  
[INFO] No .env file found.

Any idea what could be the issue?

It looks like your {DATA\_FOLDER} isn’t writable or doesn’t exists.  
I think something is overwriting what you want, or some other misconfigured settings which is causing the volume not to exists or writable at all.

It also looks like the `volume` key is not places correctly, that could be a copy/paste issue, but not sure.  
And, should all the ENV variables started with ${} instead of only {}? Never tried that before actually.

Seems to be an paste-copy issue - the same with ${}.  
Anyway in the meantime I found that there is a relation to the DB. With SQLITE the issue doesn’t appear. As soon as I enable the db =\> it crashes.  
As I understand the configuration those files the Bitwarden\_rs wants to write are from the rocket crate which I don’t enable as I am behind a proxy.

I found the issue =\> the volume path was not correct - anyway thx
