Invalid API Key Error with Typesense Docker Image

TLDR Cooper faced an invalid API key error with the Typesense Docker image. Jason explained that scoped API keys only work with parent keys created via the /keys API endpoint.

Hey all, I am running the latest typesense docker image locally and am getting an invalid api key error when generating a scoped API key in my backend. I set the --api-key=xyz in the docker command (also tried --search-only-api-key=abcd in the docker command, but think that might be deprecated) but still getting this Forbidden - a valid x-typesense-api-keyerror in the frontend.

Am I able to use scoped API keys in the docker image? Thanks!

Scoped API keys only work with parent keys that were generated via the /keys api endpoint and not the bootstrap key in the command line.
