Description

Currently, changing default credentials in plane.env will not seamlessly deploy due to undocumented defaults in docker-compose.yml that only match default credentials.
This fixes the defaults from hardcoded values to ones filled from the actual environment.

Also adds database port field to the default URI not to assume default.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The compose configuration now builds the default PostgreSQL and RabbitMQ connection URLs from their corresponding environment variables. The SECRET_KEY default remains unchanged.

Changes

Service connection defaults

Layer / File(s) Summary
Environment-based connection URLs
deployments/cli/community/docker-compose.yml
The default PostgreSQL and RabbitMQ URLs now use configured credentials, hosts, ports, and database or vhost names instead of fixed local service values.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e4cb6

The Compose change now derives database and broker connections from environment values, enabling customized credentials but potentially causing plaintext remote connections, authentication failures with existing database volumes, port mismatches, or malformed URLs. The PR is not merge-ready without resolving or explicitly accepting these bounded security and deployment risks.

official Docker postgres image POSTGRES_PASSWORD existing database volume initialization environment variables only first initialization

💡 Result:

In the official Docker PostgreSQL image, the environment variable POSTGRES_PASSWORD and any initialization scripts located in the /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/ directory are only processed during the container's first initialization [1][2][3]. This behavior is designed to prevent the overwriting or corruption of existing databases [1]. The container's entrypoint script checks whether the PostgreSQL data directory (by default /var/lib/postgresql/data) is empty [1][2]. Key points regarding this initialization process: 1. First Initialization: If the data directory is empty, the container executes the initdb process to create a new database cluster [1][2]. It then applies the POSTGRES_PASSWORD environment variable to set the superuser password and subsequently executes any *.sql, *.sql.gz, or executable *.sh scripts found in /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/ [2][3]. 2. Existing Data: If the data directory is not empty—such as when a volume containing existing database files is mounted—the container skips both the initialization process and the execution of any scripts in /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/ [1][2]. In this state, PostgreSQL starts using the existing configuration and credentials previously defined in that data volume [1]. 3. Managing Credentials: If you reuse an existing volume, the POSTGRES_PASSWORD environment variable will not override the password already set within that database [1]. To change the password for an existing database, you must either connect to the database and use SQL commands (e.g., ALTER USER postgres WITH PASSWORD 'newpassword';) or remove the volume to trigger a fresh initialization [1]. If you require scripts to run every time the container starts, regardless of whether the volume contains existing data, you must implement a custom entrypoint script or extend the official image to handle such logic, as the standard behavior is strictly limited to the initial setup [2][4].

Citations:


Preserve PostgreSQL credentials for existing volumes.

plane-db mounts pgdata, and the postgres:15.7-alpine image applies POSTGRES_USER and POSTGRES_PASSWORD only during initial database creation. Changing either variable updates the fallback DATABASE_URL used by api, worker, beat-worker, and migrator, but not the credentials stored in pgdata. Those services can then fail authentication. Add a credential-rotation procedure or document that these changes require a fresh database volume.

Require authenticated TLS for remote database and broker connections.

When PGHOST or RABBITMQ_HOST points outside the trusted Compose network and the corresponding URL is empty, the fallback DATABASE_URL does not require verified PostgreSQL TLS and AMQP_URL uses amqp://. Require secure PostgreSQL settings with certificate and hostname verification and amqps:// or equivalent TLS configuration for RabbitMQ, or require explicit secure URLs for remote destinations.

PostgreSQL Docker official image POSTGRES_PORT listener PGPORT RabbitMQ Docker official image RABBITMQ_NODE_PORT RABBITMQ_PORT

💡 Result:

For both the official PostgreSQL and RabbitMQ Docker images, there is no single "official" environment variable (like POSTGRES_PORT or RABBITMQ_NODE_PORT) that acts as a direct, simple toggle to change the service's internal listening port in the way users often expect [1][2][3]. PostgreSQL Docker Image: The official PostgreSQL Docker image does not support a dedicated environment variable named POSTGRES_PORT to configure the server port [1][3]. While some internal entrypoint scripts respect the standard PostgreSQL PGPORT environment variable for temporary server operations during initialization [4], changing the primary listening port should be done by passing configuration arguments directly to the container command [1][5]. You can do this by appending arguments to the docker run command, which are passed to the postgres executable [1][5]: docker run -d postgres -c port=5433 Alternatively, you can provide a custom configuration file by mounting it into the container and specifying it with the -c config_file=... argument [1][5]. RabbitMQ Docker Image: The official RabbitMQ Docker image does not use a specific environment variable to change the main service port [2]. While RABBITMQ_NODE_PORT is an environment variable recognized by the underlying RabbitMQ server in some contexts, relying on it in the Docker image is discouraged and often ineffective because the official image entrypoint script generates configuration files that may override such settings [6][7][8][2]. The recommended approach is to provide a custom configuration file (e.g., rabbitmq.conf) and mount it into the container at /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf to define your desired port settings explicitly [6][8][2]. In general practice for both images, the most robust way to handle port changes is to map the container's internal port to a different port on the host machine using the standard Docker -p flag (e.g., -p 8080:5432) rather than attempting to change the configuration inside the container itself [9][10].
