Roadmap item: P1 - Security hardening

docker-compose.yml embeds POSTGRES_USER=postgres and POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres in plain text committed to version control.

What to do

  • Create a .env.example file listing all required environment variables including POSTGRES_USER, POSTGRES_PASSWORD, and POSTGRES_DB with placeholder values
  • Update docker-compose.yml to reference these via ${POSTGRES_USER} etc. (or use an env_file directive)
  • Ensure .env is in .gitignore
  • Update README with instructions for creating .env from .env.example

Acceptance criteria

  • docker-compose.yml contains no hardcoded credentials
  • .env.example documents all required variables
  • .env is gitignored
  • docker compose up still works when .env is populated from the example
  • README explains the .env setup step
