You need to make sure that all volumes (including the .env file) are readable and writeable by the container.

@infracritical I had the same issue. When I exec into the container and looked at the .env file its owned by root:root. I assumed the application user did not have permissions to write against that file. This is what I did to continue the installation:

docker compose exec --user root app sh chown application:application .env exit docker compose exec --user application app sh php artisan install

Is this issue resolved - thanks to @krylon ? If so please close this issue.
