Docker Desktop (Windows) & API-key (can't find file)

[completebotatcoding]

Hi all, l am in need of assistance:
l'm a complete novice when it comes to Windows PCs, computer knowledge and coding. I tried installing and running AutoGPT using the online manuals (of course with help). I did everything as instructed, was able to have AutoGPT installed in the Docker Desktop and l press play / run.
It runs for like 1-2 seconds, and then exits automatically. In the log it returns with ''Please set you OpenAI API key in .env or as an environmental variable.''
I went through all of the files one-by-one on the docker desktop file, and couldn't find where l would need to input the key (l also don't know what l am looking for specifically).
Is this a case of the .env file being hidden (for whatever reason), or am l just completely lost?
What do l need to do?

Thanks in advance

Sounds like you did step 5 'pull the latest image'. The image will show up in Docker Desktop. I ran into the same issue as you did on windows 11. Starting using docker desktop will fail. The documentation https://docs.agpt.co/setup/#run-with-docker says you need to run this command docker compose run --rm auto-gpt in a terminal in the folder where you did the previous installation steps. Then it will be able to find the .env file.

Trying to run docker and spin up the container causes it to stop with the following log.
