Hardcoded database password?

[mmance]

I don't see an easy way to change it, if you deviate from "secret" then it errors out. Took me a while to realize that.

I have found two variables that monica picks up on for database. If you set these in your .env to your new values then profit.

DB_USERNAME
DB_PASSWORD

You just have to change the environment variable.

1. change it directly when creating the docker instance:

   docker run -d -p 8080:80 -e DB_PASSWORD=newpassword monica
   

   (and use the same password on the mysql instance)

2. or change it in the docker-compose.yml file:

   app:
     image: monica
     environment:
       - DB_PASSWORD=newpassword
   

3. or change it in the .env file that you use to run the instance

   app:
     image: monica
     env_file: .env
