FATAL: password authentication failed for user "baserow"

Technical Help
1

I installed baserow with docker-compose according to the instructions here:

cd ~/baserow
$ git clone --depth=1 --branch master https://gitlab.com/bramw/baserow.git
$ cd baserow
$ docker-compose up -d

I also create .env file which looks like this:

SECRET_KEY=baserow
DATABASE_PASSWORD=baserow
REDIS_PASSWORD=baserow
BASEROW_PUBLIC_URL=http://localhost
BASEROW_CADDY_ADDRESSES=:8080
WEB_FRONTEND_PORT=8090
HOST_PUBLISH_IP=0.0.0.0

EMAIL_SMTP=
EMAIL_SMTP_HOST=
EMAIL_SMTP_PORT=
EMAIL_SMTP_USE_TLS=
EMAIL_SMTP_USER=
EMAIL_SMTP_PASSWORD=
FROM_EMAIL=no-reply@localhost

(not sure if it’s filled correctly).

I’m trying to run it on localhost, however I get this in my terminal:
FATAL: password authentication failed for user "baserow"

and

Waiting for PostgreSQL to become available attempt 1/5 ... (it goes 0/5, 1/5 etc.)

I’m using Ubuntu 20.04

Docker version 20.10.12, build e91ed57

docker-compose version 1.29.2, build 5becea4c
