+scrape_configs:
+  - job_name: postgres
+    static_configs:
+      - targets: ["127.0.0.1:9187"] # Replace IP with the hostname of the docker container if you're running the container in a separate network

+Now use the DATA_SOURCE_PASS_FILE with a mounted file containing the password to prevent having the password in an environment variable.

+The container process runs with uid/gid 65534 (important for file permissions).

 * `DATA_SOURCE_URI`
    an alternative to `DATA_SOURCE_NAME` which exclusively accepts the hostname
    without a username and password component. For example, `my_pg_hostname` or

+   `my_pg_hostname:5432/postgres?sslmode=disable`.
 
 * `DATA_SOURCE_URI_FILE`
    The same as above but reads the URI from a file.
