VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER = custom wireguard errors with OPENVPN_USER missing

[AgentRatty]

v3 fails for "fatal error: found pointer to free object"
tried :latest, it fails with "ERROR VPN settings: OpenVPN settings: user is empty" even though I am using wireguard. copied values for key, etc from wireguard conf.
tried adding OPENVPN_USER to no avail

my docker compose below (running RPI4) trying to connect to an azure pivpn running wireguard. Am able to connect with mob/pc but unable to get gluetun to start

gluetun:

Appreciate your thoughts/input

FWIW, i figured out what the issue was. in my docker compose I had spaces between the variable name, = and value. Removing these spaces and it work
==NO BUENO==

• VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER = custom
• VPN_TYPE = wireguard

==SIBUENO==

• VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=custom
• VPN_TYPE=wireguard

maybe this helps you too
