[Question]: issue with last step

[zytancl]

Your Question

hello, this is my first time using docker compose so i'm kinda lost

i had edited the .env file while following your youtube tutorial - i had set the password under "PostgreSQL Database Settings", changed the public url to "http://localhost:8080" (cause idk where you got yours so i just used the one suggested for local dev), and the hex for "SPARKY_FITNESS_API_ENCRYPTION_KEY"

however, when i tried doing the last step, this appeared:
