Bug: docker-compose up -d fails during first install

[naz]

Where did this bug occur?

• Local development
• Self hosted app (i.e. Docker)

Describe the bug
When setting up Maybe on a self-hosted machine following setup instructions, the Run app with Docker Compose step fails with following error:

:~/docker/maybe$ docker-compose up -d
ERROR: The Compose file './docker-compose.yml' is invalid because:
services.app.environment.SELF_HOSTING_ENABLED contains true, which is an invalid type, it should be a string, number, or a null

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. ssh into the server
2. follow the steps from self-hosting guide
3. see the failure on the Run app with Docker Compose step

Expected behavior
The docker-compose up -d should create and run a fresh Maybe instance

Additional context
Might be an issue with the docker environment? My server is running on Docker version 20.10.12, build e91ed57

I have the same problem
docker-compose version 1.29.2, build unknown
Docker version 26.0.2, build 3c863ff

@naz can you try modifying your docker compose file like this and let me know if it fixes the problem?

environment:
  SELF_HOSTING_ENABLED: "true"
  DB_HOST: postgres
  RAILS_FORCE_SSL: "false"
  RAILS_ASSUME_SSL: "false"
  POSTGRES_USER: postgres
  GOOD_JOB_EXECUTION_MODE: async

I believe the solution I've outline above should work for everyone. Closing this out for now and can re-open if needed.
