While setting up ALwrity using Docker, I encountered an issue where the application failed to run because the .env file was missing. Normally, the .env file is created after the application is launched, but this dependency caused the Docker setup to fail.

When I manually update the .env file, the tool successfully builds and runs the Docker image.

@uniqueumesh : Thanks for pointing this out.

@sevleo fixed it in the morning and added a step to copy .env, but we need to create and not assume 'existing' .env

I have pushed changes and verified it at my end.
Thank you @uniqueumesh @sevleo

And while creating a Docker image user should have a very good internet connection. I encountered an error for 10+ because of a slow network issue.

True. Docker images are heavy, I was using a slim version but that ran into dependencies issues.
We can create an image and upload to docker registry and that should help.

I hope, the docker install is now working for you ? Please close the issue hence ?
Thank you @uniqueumesh
