ericis opened a new issue, #1301:
URL: https://github.com/apache/answer/issues/1301
## Describe the bug
Auto-installation fails due to a new `legal` entry in the `site_info` table
(`type=legal` and `content={"external_content_display": "always_display"}`.
According to the documentation, this new entry does not appear to have an
[environment variable override](https://answer.apache.org/docs/env/).
### To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Run Apache Answer with a container and set the environment variables. For
example, using `docker compose` and the "docker-compose.yaml" file...
1. Set `AUTO_INSTALL: true` environment variables
```
environment:
ADMIN_EMAIL: "${ANSWER_ADMIN_EMAIL:[email protected]}"
ADMIN_NAME: "${ANSWER_ADMIN_NAME:-admin}"
ADMIN_PASSWORD: "${ANSWER_ADMIN_PASSWORD:-admin123}"
AUTO_INSTALL: "true" # if set to true, the installation will be
completed automatically by environment variable.
CONTACT_EMAIL: "${ANSWER_ADMIN_EMAIL:[email protected]}"
DB_HOST: "database:3306"
DB_NAME: "${ANSWER_DATABASE_NAME:-answer}"
DB_PASSWORD: "${ANSWER_DATABASE_ROOT_PASSWORD:-admin123}"
DB_TYPE: "mysql"
DB_USERNAME: "${ANSWER_DATABASE_USERNAME:-admin}"
EXTERNAL_CONTENT_DISPLAY: "always_display"
INSTALL_PORT: "80"
LANGUAGE: "en-US"
LOG_LEVEL: "INFO"
SITE_ADDR: "0.0.0.0:80"
SITE_NAME: "Answer"
SITE_URL:
"http://${ANSWER_WEBSITE_HOST:-localhost}:${ANSWER_WEBSITE_PORT:-3030}";
SWAGGER_ADDRESS_PORT: ":${ANSWER_WEBSITE_PORT:-3030}"
SWAGGER_HOST: "${ANSWER_WEBSITE_HOST:-localhost}"
```
2. Start the website and see the error: "[auto-install] try to init by env
fail: external_content_display is a required field"
### Expected behavior
Website starts successfully with reasonable defaults or a new, required
environment variable is introduced to properly configure the
`external_content_display` value.
### Logs

container reports as healthy due to a simple healthcheck against the localhost
endpoint that ignores whether the site was properly installed / initialized.
