Version 5.12.44-d
Environment: Docker
Describe the bug
I’m trying to test invoice ninja with a local test environment, nothing fancy.
When following the steps given to set up the debian docker container on github i.e.:git clone https://github.com/invoiceninja/dockerfiles.git -b debian cd dockerfiles/debian
then running docker run --rm -it invoiceninja/invoiceninja-debian php artisan key:generate --show to get the key to put in the .env file. keeping everything else default (all for test purposes so not an issue) only changing the docker compose file to be ‘8030:80’ instead of 80:80 because 80 was already being used.
Then ran sudo docker compose up -d, I get:
Container debian-app-1 Error dependency app failed to start
and
dependency failed to start: container debian-app-1 is unhealthy
I cannot access the page after that only showing unable to connect (trying to access the site using ip:port from a separate computer on the network as the host of the container is a headless server) and the app logs (through docker compose logs app) don’t show any errors, just some migration/database normal logs then

I do believe that there is the nginx container(??? beginner at docker so not sure what it is called) missing. Not sure what to do from here. Below are the .env and compose files contents. Thank you for the help in advance.
