Env file didn't work (partially)

[Mozartuss]

I use DefectDojo in release mode with self build docker container and https configuration. For the config, I use the mysql-rabbitmq.env file, Then I make a link to the dojo/settings/.env.prod file. The problem is that the config is only read partially, the port and url settings works fine. But everything after the Initializer section didn't work. It works perfectly if I write the same env variables directly in the docker-compose.yml file.

I also slightly modify the dc-build.sh script, so that the correct env file is used

docker compose --profile mysql-rabbitmq --env-file ./docker/environments/mysql-rabbitmq.env build
