Description
Getting an error
postgresql_1 | FATAL: password authentication failed for user "gitlab"
When following the install instructions and using the docker-compose up to launch.
I have not changed the password in the docker-compose.yml since I assume these values are hardcoded in the container image.
If we would like to change the username and password ( and database name ) would that be possible somehow?

Research direction
Start with the install instructions and docker-compose.yml, then run docker-compose up to investigate the PostgreSQL authentication failure for the gitlab user. Review how the username, password, and database name are configured. Done means the setup no longer fails authentication and the supported customization options are clear.
