Name | Default | Description --------------------------------|-----------------|------------ ME_CONFIG_BASICAUTH_USERNAME | '' | mongo-express web username ME_CONFIG_BASICAUTH_PASSWORD | '' | mongo-express web password ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ENABLE_ADMIN | 'true' | Enable admin access to all databases. Send strings: `"true"` or `"false"` ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINUSERNAME | '' | MongoDB admin username ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINPASSWORD | '' | MongoDB admin password ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_PORT | 27017 | MongoDB port ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_SERVER | 'mongo' | MongoDB container name.

Remember to include a leading and trailing slash. ME_CONFIG_SITE_COOKIESECRET | 'cookiesecret' | String used by [cookie-parser middleware](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cookie-parser) to sign cookies.
