+Note 2: This variable defines the superuser password in the PostgreSQL instance, as set by the `initdb` script during inital container startup. It has no effect on the `PGPASSWORD` environment variable that may be used by the `psql` client at runtime, as described at [https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/libpq-envars.html](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/libpq-envars.html). `PGPASSWORD`, if used, will be specified as a separate environment variable.
