Hey folks!

Currently trying to set it up on my server.

I already have an existing databse set up, so I don't want to run a second one for Planka.

Now Planka's docker-compose says it connects with "trust" to a Postgres DB.

What would I need to change to let it connect to an already existing Postgres DB, but authentificated via a user in the DB?
