environment variable name 'ENV MB_DB_TYPE' may not contain whitespace

[kyleneese]

Running sudo docker-compose up -d after filling in the default .env file values produces the following error:

$ sudo docker-compose up -d
ERROR: In file /Users/<user>/compose-postgres-metabase/config/metabase_database.env: environment variable name 'ENV MB_DB_TYPE' may not contain whitespace.

Removing ENV from the vars in config/metabase_database.env appears to resolve this.

well I also encountered the exactly same error. Tried removing ENV and then it began setup.
After the setup complete, I was not able to access :3000.

I waited for sometime around 5min and voila I get the page showing:

And most of the time it is showing error connection refused.
The setup works well with localhost

On checking the logs, I found that there is a problems with the postgres connection on 54320 port and because of this I am getting connection refused.

@rbashish what did you do to resolve the issue?

@bbarman4u see #2

There seems to be a change in how env files are read in docker-compose 1.24.0 as opposed to <1.24.0 according to docker/compose#6951. Removing 'ENV' messes things up.

Maybe someone can look at updating this to work with docker-compose >=1.24.0

@rbashish , @bbarman4u, looks like the issue you were facing was coming from not using a fully qualified hostname as specified in the metabase docker docs

Could you try with the actual host of the server. Localhost may not work as expected.
