Hello! It seems that the "authentication.secret" property is empty in your configuration file. Which is not surprising considering the fact that I forgot to document it 😢 Normally one is generated randomly in the Docker image with euterpe -config-gen but you've decided to override it with your own which is completely fine. This means that you will have to come up with a random string on your own.

The authentication configuration section should be something like:

    "authentication": {
        "user": "kong",
        "password": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
        "secret": "some-completly-random-string-at-least-32-characters-log"
    },

I've updated the documentation as well.
