Are you using an image tag other than latest in docker-compose? The recent changes to docker-compose use a new whoogle user (instead of root or debian-tor), but that user is only available in the latest docker tag. You could also try removing your previous whoogle image and rebuilding.

Oh, thanks.
Fixed after removing old image with docker image rm benbusby/whoogle-search:latest
