Clarify PostgreSQL credentials in the Docker installation documentation
Source: paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx#13762 · opened by @Stoneware7102
Hi,
I think the Docker installation documentation could use a small clarification regarding PostgreSQL credentials.
If a user changes POSTGRES_USER and/or POSTGRES_PASSWORD in the db service, the documentation should explicitly state that the corresponding:
PAPERLESS_DBUSER
PAPERLESS_DBPASS
must also be added to the environment: section of the webserver service in docker-compose.yml.
For example:
PAPERLESS_DBUSER: myuser
PAPERLESS_DBPASS: "mypassword"
This is not obvious to a new user, and without it Paperless fails with:
FATAL: password authentication failed for user "paperless"
Could this relationship, and the exact location where these variables should be added, be mentioned in the installation documentation?
Thanks!
