As a guess, that looks a bit suspect as the CLI option name needs two dashes in front of it.
Beyond that, I’m not a Docker expert, so not sure if there’s anything else in the syntax for it.
[Managing secrets in Docker](https://docs.duplicati.com/detailed-descriptions/using-duplicati-from-docker#managing-secrets-in-docker) has another option:
`DUPLICATI__WEBSERVICE_PASSWORD: ""`
likely works in Duplicati provided Docker as well as LSIO, but CLI\_ARGS may be LSIO only.

Did you see their recommended compose? I don’t use Docker myself.
[https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/duplicati](https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/duplicati)
Personally, I like your PUID choices in terms of getting necessary files.
If you have a specific question, please post. Maybe someone can help.
We also don’t know what’s going wrong there after you fixed password.

The LSIO docs says
`DUPLICATI__WEBSERVICE_PASSWORD= #optional`
but
`DUPLICATI__WEBSERVICE_PASSWORD= #optional`
is what you posted. Did you actually not give a password? You need to give one after `=` there.
`DUPLICATI__WEBSERVICE_PASSWORD: ""` is what linked Duplicati manual shows.
I’m not enough of a Docker expert to say if `:` and `=` work the same. I’ll assume examples work
after you complete them. For Duplicati manual’s syntax, replace `` with your own.

It depends on Duplicati version, which is in a transition period.
[Release: 2.1.0.2 (Beta) 2024-11-29](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/release-2-1-0-2-beta-2024-11-29/19577)

>
> **Important changes from last Beta**
>

> - Mandatory password and new authentication scheme for server
> - Settings database version updated to v8
> - Backup database updated to v13
The new password requirement compared to prior Beta is the middle item.
Communicating this with Docker users seems to be especially challenging.
[https://hub.docker.com/r/duplicati/duplicati](https://hub.docker.com/r/duplicati/duplicati)
chose to describe the new scheme, although old Dockers are still available.
New directions should work with old Docker from a password point of view.
[https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/duplicati](https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/duplicati)
shows method that works on old and new, but password is required on new.
Empty password used to clear password (after a set), but that’s now denied.
IMO LSIO should update their doc to new requirement, but that’s up to them.
I’m glad you got it working.
