These environment files set the environment for most containers in the Docker Compose setup, and some variables affect multiple containers and others only single ones. One important variable is `SUPERSET_LOAD_EXAMPLES` which determines whether the `superset_init` container will load example data and visualizations into the database and Superset. These examples are quite helpful for most people, but probably unnecessary for experienced users. The loading process can sometimes take a few minutes and a good amount of CPU, so you may want to disable it on a resource-constrained device.
