TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for |: 'type' and 'NoneType' in netbox-docker deployment

Hello All,

After going through the installation steps listed in "Installation with Docker" I am getting the following error:

Note: PLUGINS_CONFIG parameter is empty since I was unable to find any reference to settings that should potentially be added there.

Any idea why I may be getting this issue? I have tried originally with NetBox 3.4 and since updated to 3.5 but still hitting the same issue. Thank you very much in advance.

Content of the configuration.py compared to the original file:

-# PLUGINS = []
+PLUGINS = [
+    'phonebox_plugin',
+]

Hi all

Is anybody able to help with this issue. I am also interested in finding a solution to complete the installation of this plug-in.
