Unstead of env_file you can add variable under "settings/ci_cd"

enter image description here

Here an exemple of "docker-compose.yml"

version: '3.3'
services:
  var:
    image: alpine:latest
    command: echo $TEST_VAR

and here my .gitlab-ci.yml

deploy:
  stage: deploy
  image: docker/compose
  script:
    - export TEST_VAR=$test_var
    - docker-compose up

and here the resulte in the ci:

enter image description here

So just copy all your vars from your .env file into /settins/ci_cd and add export them in script: before docker-compose up.

You can read more about variable in CI here.
