Unable to start Appian 18.2 Docker configuration

I resolved this issue by adding a .env file in the same directory as the docker-compose.yml file. The contents of the .env file is as follows:

APPIAN_HOME=/usr/local/appian/ae
JBOSS_HOME=/usr/local/jboss

It is a less invasive way of setting the environment variables.

Problem is that it can't find the appian-topology.xml file

10:32:09,208 INFO [stdout] (ServerService Thread Pool -- 64) com.appiancorp.suiteapi.common.exceptions.AppianException: The search server cannot be reached. Failed to connect to server at [localhost:9300]. Check that the search server is started. If running multiple application servers, check that appian-topology.xml is properly configured with the search cluster details. The appian-topology.xml file must be distributed to each /ear/suite.ear/conf/ and /search-server/conf/ directory. See documentation for details. (APNX-1-4274-001)

I got it working on my Mac by replacing all the instances of ${APPIAN_HOME}/ear/suite.ear/conf/ with ${APPIAN_HOME}/conf/ in docker-compose.yml.

i.e.- ./conf/appian-topology.xml:${APPIAN_HOME}/ear/suite.ear/conf/appian-topology.xml ===>> - ./conf/appian-topology.xml:${APPIAN_HOME}/conf/appian-topology.xml

I tried on 2 different computers (Linux and Mac) with both permanent and temporary licenses and got the same result.

Also faced and resolved this issue before that: issues.jboss.org/.../JBEAP-4434
