The -e allows me to pass multiline cert info in --env or --env-file arguments to docker run. Without passing explicit \n the SSL load fails.
The escaped \n is necessary to pass multiline arguments to --env. Ideally an --env-file could have actual newlines in cert info but docker's env-file handling is defective and the devs won't fix it [1], advising to use -e instead.
