David Ffrench:

1. If using docker compose these can be set there like in app-metrics. Postgres will pick up the set of PG env vars we support. In app-metrics we support this set of env vars. Re setting of these env vars, these are picked up by go from the local environment where the app is running, and should just need to be set in the local environment where the app is running.

2. No, postgres does not appear to be used in the mobile-developer-console repo

3. I could guess but I'm afraid I don't know. We've mimiced the approach in other aerogear repos of providing a docker compose file, and see no reason why this would not be sufficient for local development once it's kept current. This would be a good question for you to ask on the aerogear mailing list though.
