Generating PGPASS file error about docker-cardano-db-sync HOT 2 CLOSED

I will take a look today, but the instructions are a bit misleading.

There's no PostgreSQL database within the container, so you need to provide some method for authentication to the external database. I'll expand the documentation and improve the error handling.

You can use the container by either mounting a pgpass file at /configuration/pgpass or by passing the POSTGRES_DB, POSTGRES_USER, POSTGRES_PASSWORD, and the POSTGRES_HOST and POSTGRES_PORT variables to point to your PostgreSQL instance.

Thank you for your reply. Yes, let me give that a go tonight. Now it all makes perfect sense. I must have been too sleepy last night.
