Error deploying Azure IoT Edge Device: EdgeHub and EdgeAgent modules fail to start with ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'uriString')

I'm working on developing an MQTT broker written in Rust, and I need to deploy it to Azure to run up there. I have successfully built a Docker image of my code and everything seems to be functioning as intended.

Now I'm trying to take my Docker image and deploy it to a module inside of an Azure IoT Edge Device. I was able to upload my Docker image to my Azure Container Registry.

My issues arise after I make a deployment configuration for my Edge Device. Below is my deployment.json file.

                }
            }

}

I am able to use the Azure IoT Edge Extension for Visual Studio Code to deploy to my device and the deployment succeeds. However, when I look at the modules in Docker Desktop, the edgeAgent and edgeHub modules resart every second or so. Below are some screenshots of what I can see inside the Azure portal.

I believe that I have my custom module 'BrokerModule' figured out as it is running normally from what I can see in Docker Desktop. It is just the edgeAgent and edgeHub that are not behaving as intended. Please let me know if any more information is needed, any suggestions are welcome.

The logs for the edgeAgent and edgeHub are as follows:
