Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/issues/949

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but after uncommenting the whoogle.env line of the docker-compose.yml file, making my edits to whoogle.env and then running docker-compose up, I get the following error:

$ docker-compose up -d
Recreating 4801cd53379e_whoogle-search ... error

ERROR: for 4801cd53379e_whoogle-search  Cannot create container for service whoogle-search: invalid mount path: 'whoogle.env' mount path must be absolute

ERROR: for whoogle-search  Cannot create container for service whoogle-search: invalid mount path: 'whoogle.env' mount path must be absolute
ERROR: Encountered errors while bringing up the project.

I'm sure I'm making some trivial error -- any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ugh -- nevermind. I new it was stupid and trivial. I uncommented the whoogle.env line but not the the env_file line.
