Describe the bug

While attempting to get sonic to work with docker compose, the environment variables listed in the compose file do not appear to change the configuration.

Steps to reproduce

Download and run the default compose file, uncomment necessary sections and bring it up.

Sonic container runs, but searches don't have full text.

Using config set for SEARCH_BACKEND_ENGINE SEARCH_BACKEND_HOST_NAME SEARCH_BACKEND_PORT are all required to get it working.

I think this might just be user error and trying to update the index directly from the docker image rather than the compose.
