stringy.split problem

[Rooby69]

Hello

I have a problem when not defining PROSODY_ADMINS then in line4 of the prosody.cfg.lua the _stringy.split(os.getenv("PROSODYADMINS"), ", "); has a problem since it gets an empty string from PROSODY_ADMINS.

when running prosodyctl it will scan the config an raise an error: Error: /usr/local/etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua:6: bad argument #1 to 'split' (string expected, got nil)

The same happens in other cfg.lua files where an empty string may defined e.g. SERVER_CONTACT_INFO_ABUSE, SERVER_CONTACT_INFO_ADMIN etc.

Hello,

you have to use the /entrypoint.bash script. It will initialize the environment variables and call prosodyctl if the first argument is not prosody.

Example:

# This one does not work
docker compose exec prosody_postgres prosodyctl register TestUserName localhost 12345678
# This one works
docker compose exec prosody_postgres /bin/bash -c "/entrypoint.bash register TestUserName localhost 12345678"
