+**Important** : Please note: don't wrap the generated hash password in single quotes when you use `docker-compose.yml`. Instead, replace each `$` symbol with two `$$` symbols. For example:
+
+``` yaml
+- PASSWORD_HASH=$$2y$$10$$hBCoykrB95WSzuV4fafBzOHWKu9sbyVa34GJr8VV5R/pIelfEMYyG
+```
+
+This hash is for the password 'foobar123', obtained using the command `docker run ghcr.io/wg-easy/wg-easy wgpw foobar123` and then inserted an additional `$` before each existing `$` symbal.
