Error adding domain: `Warning .env file not found!`

stefan

Warning .env file not found! indicates that user's .env file is not reahable from OpenPanel UI container.

OpenPanel UI docker cntianer mounts /home/:/home/ and if the inode number changes for the home directory, then /home in docker no longer reflects the files on /home on the host OS.

Check user's files on hostOS:

   ls -la /home/USERNAME/.env

Check user's files from within OpenPanelUI container:

  docker exec bash -c "ls -la /home/USERNAME/.env"

if they show different data, then this issue affects your user!

Solution is to simply stop and restart openpanel ui:

cd /root && docker compose down openpanel && docker compose up -d openpanel
