I'm currently trying to set up Mattermost on Docker following the official guide.
After copying and adjusting the .env-file, and while deploying the container (using docker-compose.without-nginx as I'm going to set up traefik as the reverse proxy):
sudo docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.without-nginx.yml up -d
the following error message is returned:

My .env file looks something like this:
# Domain of service
DOMAIN=my-sub.domain.com
# Container settings
## Timezone inside the containers. The value needs to be in the form 'Europe/Berlin'.
## A list of these tz database names can be looked up at Wikipedia

## Please keep in mind this will create a superuser and it's recommended to use a less privileged

# Nginx
## The nginx container will use a configuration found at the NGINX_MATTERMOST_CONFIG. The config aims
## to be secure and uses a catch-all server vhost which will work out-of-the-box. For additional settings
## or changes ones can edit it or provide another config. Important note: inside the container, nginx sources
## every config file inside */etc/nginx/conf.d* ending with a *.conf* file extension.
## Inside the container the uid and gid is 101. The folder owner can be set with
## `sudo chown -R 101:101 ./nginx` if needed.

## Make Mattermost container readonly. This interferes with the regeneration of root.html inside the container. Only use
## it if you know what you're doing.
## See https://github.com/mattermost/docker/issues/18
MATTERMOST_CONTAINER_READONLY=false
## The app port is only relevant for using Mattermost without the nginx container as reverse proxy. This is not meant
## to be used with the internal HTTP server exposed but rather in case one wants to host several services on one host
## or for using it behind another existing reverse proxy.

## Configuration settings for Mattermost. Documentation on the variables and the settings itself can be found at
## https://docs.mattermost.com/administration/config-settings.html
## Keep in mind that variables set here will take precedence over the same setting in config.json. This includes
## the system console as well and settings set with env variables will be greyed out.
## Below one can find necessary settings to spin up the Mattermost container
MM_SQLSETTINGS_DRIVERNAME=postgres
MM_SQLSETTINGS_DATASOURCE=postgres://${POSTGRES_USER}:${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}@postgres:5432/${POSTGRES_DB}?sslmode=disable&connect_timeout=10
## Example settings (any additional setting added here also needs to be introduced in the docker-compose.yml)
MM_SERVICESETTINGS_SITEURL=https://${DOMAIN}
Any advice? Thanks and best regards.
Don't rename your .env-file to something like mattermost.env just leave it at .env and you'll have no problems.
