docker-entrypoint.sh startup script has incorrect export statement

[rthomas6charter]

Bug Description

Issue

Docker startup script fails if both self-signed certificates and NODE_OPTIONS env variable are in effect.

• n8n won't start.
• Console output message: /docker-entrypoint.sh: export: line 4: --max-old-space-size: bad variable name

Probable Solution

This: https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/blob/master/docker/images/n8n/docker-entrypoint.sh#L4 ...needs quotes around the value in the export statement so the part after the space isn't interpreted as a separate argument.

To Reproduce

1. Add one or more .pem files to /opt/custom-certificates
   • OPTION 1: Mount a volume to that path for the container
   • OPTION 2: Create another container image layer with the custom-certificates added
2. Run the n8n container with the following env variable set:
   • NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=2048

Expected behavior

Normal startup with effective env variable set to:

• NODE_OPTIONS=--use-openssl-ca --max-old-space-size=2048

Operating System

Official Docker Container - Base Image (Alpine?) linux/arm64

n8n Version
