### Desired behaviour

it not doing that :)

### Steps to reproduce

Straight up docker image
docker image: ghcr.io/plankanban/planka:1.18.0@sha256:34b420072ed7e3caacbd9363d26ffd2e20082a16336b44475b19de83a28df097

$ grep sdk /etc/mtab
/dev/sdk /app/public/user-avatars ext4 rw,relatime 0 0
/dev/sdk /app/private/attachments ext4 rw,relatime 0 0
/dev/sdk /app/public/project-background-images ext4 rw,relatime 0 0


### Other information

i can't figure out why planka/sails thinks config.js should be json

@halkeye commented on GitHub (Jun 12, 2024):

As I was writing this, I think i realized what was wrong

cat config/custom.js  | grep JSON
  webhooks: JSON.parse(process.env.WEBHOOKS), // TODO: validate structure

So webhooks needs a default? or some steps added to release notes

I also experienced the same issue when my docker pulled the latest image this morning

I confirm my solution was to include and uncomment the new WEBHOOKS section of the docker-compose. I only updated the URL line. After re-running docker-compose plank now comes up again

Same problem here, solved it by adding this to compose (not sure it this a 100% correct "fix"):

     - |
        WEBHOOKS=[{
          "url": "http://localhost:1337",
          "accessToken": "notaccesstoken",
          "events": [],
          "excludedEvents": ["cardCreate", "cardUpdate", "cardDelete", "notificationCreate", "notificationUpdate"]
        }]

Thing is that I don't want to use web hooks at the moment, so I expected that I didn't need to add it based on the compose example.

I would set the WEBHOOKS value to "[]" if you don't need them
I submitted a PR to add a default of empty

@halkeye you're right, that works. For some reason it didn't work when I tried it initially, that's why I ended up with my previous reaction... Probably did something wrong :(

Thank you for your reaction!

Thanks for reporting and fixing this so quickly :)
The fixed version is being built, and you can remove/comment the WEBHOOKS environment variable if you don't use it.
