Docker installation error - init.sh fails with syntax error: unexpected end of file due to CRLF line endings

[ValentinoZA]

Information about bug

When running the project using Docker Compose on Windows, the container fails during startup with a Bash syntax error originating from /workspace/init.sh

This appears to be caused by Windows CRLF line endings in init.sh which are not compatible with Bash in Linux containers.

Observed Errors

/workspace/init.sh: line 43: syntax error: unexpected end of file
/workspace/init.sh: line 2: $'\r': command not found

As a result, the frappe container exits with a non-zero status code.

Steps to Reproduce
Clone the repository on a Windows machine

Run:

`docker-compose up`

Observe the frappe container exiting with the errors above

Root Cause
The init.sh script uses CRLF (Windows) line endings, which cause Bash parsing failures inside Linux-based Docker containers.

Workaround / Fix
Running the following command inside the container resolves the issue by converting CRLF to LF:

`docker-compose run --rm frappe bash -c "sed -i 's/\r$//' /workspace/init.sh"`

After this, restarting Docker Compose allows the container to start successfully.
