Description

Hi,

I’m able to pull the images and run docker-compose up -d with the compose yaml and environment file, and everything is installed properly. However, docker ps -a shows the rocketchat container continuously restarts with the following error:

Node.js v20.17.0
(node:1) [DEP0170] DeprecationWarning: The URL http://localhost:${HOST_PORT:-3000} is invalid. Future versions of Node.js will throw an error.
(Use node --trace-deprecation ... to show where the warning was created)
packages/core-runtime.js:189
throw error;

Node.js v20.17.0

I have not made any changes to either compose or env except for setting RELEASE=7.0.3 (I have previously tried 6.13.0 and 6.13.1). Any ideas are greatly appreciated because I have tried a fresh install many times and I can’t find any information on this specific error. I am trying to run this as localhost so have not set any URL for RocketChat or MongoDB. Thank you!
