Fixes #26775: quote OIDC_CUSTOM_PARAMS default to prevent compose brace-parsing crash

[mohitjeswani01]

Describe your changes:

Fixes #26775

I worked on all Docker Compose files because the line:
OIDC_CUSTOM_PARAMS: ${OIDC_CUSTOM_PARAMS:-{}} was fragile —
the {} default value contains curly braces that conflict with
Compose variable interpolation syntax, causing the server to crash
on startup with Malformed YAML: customParams: {}}.

Root Cause

Docker Compose interprets {} inside ${} as nested substitution,
producing malformed YAML. The fix is to wrap the entire value in
double quotes — Compose still performs variable substitution inside
quoted strings, so env var override continues to work correctly.

What I Changed

Replaced all 16 occurrences across 8 Docker Compose files:

# Before (broken)
OIDC_CUSTOM_PARAMS: ${OIDC_CUSTOM_PARAMS:-{}}

# After (fixed)
OIDC_CUSTOM_PARAMS: "${OIDC_CUSTOM_PARAMS:-{}}"

Files fixed:

• docker/development/docker-compose-gcp.yml
• docker/development/docker-compose-postgres-fuseki.yml
• docker/development/docker-compose-postgres.yml
• docker/development/docker-compose.yml
• docker/docker-compose-openmetadata/docker-compose-openmetadata.yml
• docker/docker-compose-quickstart/docker-compose-postgres.yml
• docker/docker-compose-quickstart/docker-compose-rdf.yml
• docker/docker-compose-quickstart/docker-compose.yml

Verification

• Env var override still works when OIDC_CUSTOM_PARAMS is set
• Defaults safely to {} (valid JSON empty object) when not set
• Consistent with other quoted variables in the same files
  e.g. OIDC_SCOPE: ${OIDC_SCOPE:-"openid email profile"}
• 8 files changed, 16 insertions, 16 deletions — nothing else touched

Type of change:

• Bug fix

Code Review ✅ Approved

Quoting OIDC_CUSTOM_PARAMS default value prevents Docker Compose from misinterpreting braces as variable references. No issues found.

Pull request overview

This PR addresses a Docker Compose interpolation edge case where using {} as the default value for OIDC_CUSTOM_PARAMS inside ${...:-...} can produce malformed YAML and crash OpenMetadata on startup (Fixes #26775).

Changes:

• Wrapped OIDC_CUSTOM_PARAMS values in double quotes across all affected Docker Compose files so the ${OIDC_CUSTOM_PARAMS:-{}} default no longer triggers brace-related interpolation issues.
• Applied the same fix consistently across development, OpenMetadata, and quickstart Compose variants.
