[BUG]: An admin password containing `, ' or # does not work about anything-llm HOT 5 CLOSED

When you use that exact password via the UI, it is escaped and works fine (both as a user pass and single-password set up).
We cannot police the arbitrary values put into the .env :/

Fyi, I did not touch the .env file
The password was recognized during the first run, but wasn't after stopping the container and starting a new. It was only recognised after I removed the last two digits.

When altering the password which contains either a ' (single quote), # or ` (backtick), this happens in the .env:

The AUTH_TOKEN value is cut off after that quote/tick. While the container is still running logging in with the complete password works.
However, after stopping and starting the container, you must log in using fe instead of the whole password otherwise:

@timothycarambat small reminder, this closed issue might need some attention. At least when you say "We cannot police the arbitrary values put into the .env" it sounds like you think I manually altered the .env file, which was not the case.
Or do you mean you cannot police what A-LLM / Docker puts in the .env?

I realize now this is because of the writing to the ENV and \`` and #` are special values
