for information the CF_API_KEY not detect the third char “$” in the key to avoid that i just add an other “$” at this position and it’s work

@R15B FWIW I just now tested with
version: "3.8"

services:
  mc:
    image: itzg/minecraft-server
    environment:
      CF_API_KEY: '$$2a$$10$$R...'
and the following
docker compose run --entrypoint env mc
includes:
CF_API_KEY=$2a$10$R...
So, it appears single or double quotes make no difference either way. $'s need to be doubled up to escape them.

Sorry to bounce back to this, I’ve not had to double up the $ signs in my docker compose file. I used single quotes initially and could not get the server to start.

I have it running without issue with the compose file configuration as below.

  CF_PAGE_URL: "https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/all-the-mods-8"
  CF_SLUG: "all-the-mods-8"
  CF_FILE_ID: "4461163"
  CF_API_KEY: "$2a$10$8KtpCVtni5dsxzuJEgXgi.."

When I attempted this with single quotes it continued to fail with similar errors as to described in this thread.

I’ll do some further testing later today and see what I find.

You’ll need to fill in CF_API_KEY, but I also need to add better error handling for that.

I actually did have it filled in, just removed it here because wasn’t sure if it should be private. I did also make sure to include the extra $ before each of its occurrences
