After using this compose the UI should have been populated with all the values, But when I opened it i had to manually fill everything like Github username, Gitea username , tokens,etc.

Tested latest image v3.2.2 after cleaning the data dir.
Initially after 1st boot -

Probably because no user exists at 1st boot.

After creating the user and restarting the container it picked up the env variables -

One thing i like to point out is that release,tags and some other metadata was not ticked (as there are no env variables in docker compose for now).
Can we also make env variables for those?

@Tailscale-VPS I have added more Env variables in v3.2.3. Have a look.
