 - **`HOST`**: The host to bind the server to (default: `0.0.0.0`).
 - **`PORT`**: The port to bind the server to (default: `3000`).
 - **`CONFIG_FILE`**: The path to the Headscale `config.yaml` (default: `/etc/headscale/config.yaml`).
-- **`ACL_FILE`**: The path to the ACL file (default: `/etc/headscale/acl_policy.json`, not needed if you have `acl_policy_path` in your config).
 - **`HEADSCALE_CONFIG_UNSTRICT`**: This will disable the strict configuration loader (default: `false`).
 - **`COOKIE_SECURE`**: This option enables the `Secure` flag for cookies, ensuring they are sent only over HTTPS, which helps prevent interception and enhances data security. It should be disabled when using HTTP instead of HTTPS (default: `true`).
