[Docker] Failling to rendering template `<.Env.XMPP_MUC_DOMAIN>: invalid value`

Description:

While running compose, I got multiple various message that seems due the same original cause.

# podman-compose logs web

nginx: [emerg] invalid number of arguments in "proxy_pass" directive in /config/nginx/meet.conf:59

To my understanding XMPP_MUC_DOMAIN env var is not defined or not a string. Thus:

1. this error is raised template: /defaults/system-config.js:11:45: executing "/defaults/system-config.js" at <.Env.XMPP_MUC_DOMAIN>: invalid value; expected string
2. as the variable is not filled the file /nginx/meet.conf is incomplete
3. this error is raised nginx: [emerg] invalid number of arguments in "proxy_pass" directive in /config/nginx/meet.conf:59

Steps to reproduce:

1. curl -Lo/tmp/docker_jitsi.tar.gz https://github.com/jitsi/docker-jitsi-meet/archive/refs/tags/stable-6726-1.tar.gz
2. tar xf /tmp/docker_jitsi.tar.gz -C /var/www/jitsi.microbiomestudio.fr/ --strip-components=1

Actual behavior:

We can see from file system-config.js that XMPP_MUC_DOMAIN is filled from its corresponding env var

# grep XMPP_MUC_DOMAIN ./web/rootfs/defaults/system-config.js
{{ $XMPP_MUC_DOMAIN := .Env.XMPP_MUC_DOMAIN -}}
{{ $XMPP_MUC_DOMAIN_PREFIX := (split "." .Env.XMPP_MUC_DOMAIN)._0  -}}
config.hosts.muc = '{{ $XMPP_MUC_DOMAIN_PREFIX }}.'+subdomain+'{{ $XMPP_DOMAIN }}';
config.hosts.muc = '{{ $XMPP_MUC_DOMAIN }}';

The env file declare the expected variable

# grep XMPP_MUC_DOMAIN .env
XMPP_MUC_DOMAIN="muc.meet.jitsi"

I even defined the variable into the current bash session to ensure its presence.

Thanks for your helps

@saghul Thanks for your answer. I agree, that seems more a podman-compose problem I tried to install from source jitsi-meet on a rocky linux but after some works I chose an easier path using container so I tried first podman which fail. Now I try with docker that works better but it is not the ideal case

Closing this this is a podman issue. Podman support is tracked at https://github.com/jitsi/docker-jitsi-meet/issues/201
