Saw the message about the .env file and found it in the packages/server directory (after looking at the docker-compose).

So I copied that and it did successfully start.

But now in the setup screen it says ENCRYPTION_KEY is not set (twice). So I set it. But it repeatedly says not set.

So yeah, just follow the quick start. It doesn't work and it doesn't mention anything about having to copy the .env.

Steps to Reproduce
Follow quick start.

Work

Doesn't work
