Please search past issues, missing keys have been covered extensively and also are noted in the FAQ.

@rsobaid

Connect to the container console of the speedtest-tracker and paste this php artisan key:generate --show
Then set a new env APP_KEY and past the result of the previous with 'base64:<YOUR_KEY>' as value of this new env variable.

I got the same issue and this has worked for me.

[strausmann]

So it's finally working again for me.
Why does the documentation for the Docker Environment parameter "APP_KEY" still say "Currently not used and generated at random on startup of the container." If it is generated automatically, why do you have to enter it in the Docker Environment now?
In addition, why does a Laravel project ignore the APP_KEY in the .env file, which is located in the config folder? The value was not empty and prefixed with a base64:.
All other parameters such as site name are also evaluated!
Please update the documentation once, both the "Environment Variables" part, "Using Docker or Docker Compose" part and the FAQ.
