Context

docker-compose.yml embeds POSTGRES_USER=postgres and POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres in plain text. Anyone with access to the repository can read the credentials.

Roadmap reference: ROADMAP.md > P1 > Security hardening > Database credentials in docker-compose.yml

What to do

  1. Create a .env.example file (if one does not exist) with placeholder values for all secrets.
  2. Update docker-compose.yml to reference variables via ${POSTGRES_USER} / ${POSTGRES_PASSWORD} substitution.
  3. Ensure .env is listed in .gitignore.
  4. Update any developer setup docs to instruct copying .env.example to .env.

Acceptance criteria

  • docker-compose.yml contains no hardcoded credential strings.
  • docker compose up succeeds when a valid .env file is present.
  • .env is gitignored.
  • .env.example with placeholder values is committed.
