The compose setup instructions create an auth database named `iot_center_auth`, but the repo’s default `INFLUX_DATABASE_AUTH` in `.env.development`/README is `iot_center_devices`. This mismatch will cause “database not found” errors unless users also change env defaults; align the database name here or update the project defaults consistently.
