I'm using Indifferent Brocolli's Docker image to run a dedicated server, but no matter what I put for the PASSWORD= variable in the .env file it only lets me connect to the server in game with a blank password. If I enter the password set in the .env file I get a wrong password error in PZ. Any ideas?

You should be editing the password in the <servername>.ini file

Do you know where that is?

Yeah I just found that right before you sent this. It is working changing it there, but this makes me wonder what other parameters in the env file aren't being honored

Looks like the Public flag isn't being honored either
