I have a dashboard where I have set the theme to dark. When I launch `node-red` on CLI and access the dashboard, the dark theme is applied. However, when I am running the same in a container, via Docker Compose, the dark theme is not applied. Light theme applies. Here is the relevant `Dockerfile`. In `settings.js`, the only change I have made for container deployment is to block the editor.
How do I get the dashboard to appear in dark?
```Dockerfile
FROM nodered/node-red
RUN npm i node-red-dashboard node-red-contrib-sse-client node-red-node-ui-table
COPY flows/flows.json /data/flows.json
COPY install/settings.js /data/settings.js
```
