Hi,

I've upgraded to Pangolin 1.9.0 just now, but I'm receiving the following error during startup:

pangolin  | > @fosrl/pangolin@0.0.0 start
pangolin  | > DB_TYPE=sqlite NODE_OPTIONS=--enable-source-maps NODE_ENV=development ENVIRONMENT=prod sh -c 'node dist/migrations.mjs && node dist/server.mjs'
pangolin  |
pangolin  | Starting migrations from version 1.9.0
pangolin  | Migrations to run:
pangolin  | All migrations completed successfully
pangolin  | /app/server/lib/config.ts:30
pangolin  |             throw new Error(`Invalid configuration file: ${errors}`);
pangolin  |                   ^
pangolin  |
pangolin  |
pangolin  | Error: Invalid configuration file: Validation error: Server secret must be defined
pangolin  |     at new eu (/app/server/lib/config.ts:30:19)
pangolin  |     at <anonymous> (/app/server/lib/config.ts:221:23)
pangolin  |     at async <anonymous> (/app/server/logger.ts:2:1)
pangolin  |     at async <anonymous> (/app/server/setup/ensureActions.ts:5:1)
pangolin  |
pangolin  | Node.js v22.18.0

I'm using SERVER_SECRET via environment variable to configure the secret. I verified it's existence and value using a custom entrypoint. I didn't change the config from 1.8.0 which was working just fine.

Thank's for the fast response! The new build (cc8f040f29f1) does fix the issue for me.

This issue arrived again on 1.14.1 by manual deployment in docker. Even if you pre-create the key file:
