Fresh docker compose install does not finish succesfully due to failed container

Issue Summary

I followed the install guide (not the one-click setup script) for docker compose setup. Unfortunately it contains some stale links as reported in #9244. But also the docker-compose.yml that does correctly link is outdated. The linked docker-compose.yml does not contain any authzed or spice references. As soon as I realized the files referenced to download where out of date I downloaded the most recent copy and I added execution permissions on the shell files. To make sure I started with a clean slate I removed the old install via docker compose down -v and started over again. This time the new containers that where not present before got pulled and the containers spun up. However this does not finish successfully as can be seen below:

bash
docker compose up -d

I'm currently stuck at this point now and I wonder how / if I should proceed. As this documentation is the first entry point for newcomers like me that want to self host this solution it ideally should work flawlessly. I hope the team wants to invest some time to get this working again. I'll be happy to do any testing when needed.
