Encrypted Password in docker-compose file

[fletchy95]

I created a encrypted password according to the documentation echo -n "your-password" | docker run -i --rm atmoz/makepasswd --crypt-md5 --clearfrom=- But I cannot seem to get the ecrypted password to work for my docker-compose file:

version: "2.2"

services:
  app:
    image: atmoz/sftp
    volumes: 
      -  /home/user/Documents/upload:/home/user/upload/
      - ./permissionfix.sh:/etc/sftp.d/permissionfix.sh
    ports:
      - "127.0.0.1:2222:22"
    command: user:encryptedpassword:e:1001
    container_name: sftp

I end up getting an error ERROR: Invalid interpolation format for "command" option in service "app": "user:encryptedpassword:e:1001" Any one have a fix to this issue, you can assume my encrypted password starts with the dollar sign ($) and has a long alphanumeric I just did not want to broadcast it even though this is just a test environment.

You have to use double dollar-signs so that compose does not interpret the string as a variable.
