V5 - Build problems with finding .env variables

[briodev]

Package version

"devDependencies": {
"@adonisjs/assembler": "^3.0.6",
"adonis-preset-ts": "^1.1.0",
"pino-pretty": "^4.3.0",
"typescript": "^4.1.2",
"youch": "^2.1.1",
"youch-terminal": "^1.0.1"
},
"dependencies": {
"@adonisjs/core": "^5.0.4-preview-rc-2.1",
"@adonisjs/repl": "^1.1.6",
"proxy-addr": "^2.0.6",
"reflect-metadata": "^0.1.13",
"source-map-support": "^0.5.19"
}

Node.js and npm version

v12.13.0
6.12.0

Sample Code (to reproduce the issue)

npm init adonis-ts-app 'new-api-project'
npm install
node ace build --production
cd build
npm ci --production
node server.js

Will not run server - Exception: E_MISSING_ENV_VALUE: Missing environment variable "HOST"

Is there a step I'm missing to use the .env file for my variables?

Was working in a previous version
"@adonisjs/core": "^5.0.0-preview-rc-1.12",
