Subject of the issue

On starting of the latest (1.25.1) version, it will error stating there is no .env and no persistent storage although configured and working in 1.25.0

Deployment environment

vaultwarden version: 1.25.1

Other relevant details:

Steps to reproduce

Run the below docker compose; (I have every variable populated but removed for this issue raise)

services:
  vaultwarden:

    container_name: vaultwarden
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 50003:80
    networks:
      - proxy
    volumes:
      - vaultwarden_data:/data
    environment:
      - ADMIN_TOKEN=
      - WEBSOCKET_ENABLED=true
      - SMTP_HOST=
      - SMTP_FROM=
      - SMTP_FROM_NAME=VaultWarden
      - SMTP_SECURITY=starttls
      - SMTP_PORT=587
      - SMTP_USERNAME=

      - EMERGENCY_ACCESS_ALLOWED=true
      - SENDS_ALLOWED=true
      - WEB_VAULT_ENABLED=true

Expected behaviour

To launch the application and be accessible via it's port or the remapped port if provided i.e. 50003:80 in this case

Actual behaviour

Application does not start and reviewing the logs, the below is returned;

[INFO] No .env file found.
