librechat.example.yaml needs to be updated

[B1LLP4RK]

What happened?

Hi I have recently setup LibreChat. I use windows11 and docker desktop with WSL2. docker version is 4.55.0.

I am locally hosting Docker, at least that was my plan.

Librechat works at port 3080 in localhost, when I just setup the .env file.

However when I created librechat.yaml from the librechat.example.yaml, and created docker-compose.override.yml with the content below,

version: '3.4'
 
services:
  api:
    volumes:
      - type: bind
        source: ./librechat.yaml
        target: /app/librechat.yaml

I keep getting the error log from the 'LibreChat' container (or service)

For your information, the content of the override file is from the documentation
