Summary

Fixes #9866.

The container deployment docs for PGPASS_FILE had a typo ("varible") and an incomplete sentence ("should be set to if you want to..."). Reworded to explain that the variable is the path to a pgpass file that is copied into the container (per pkg/docker/entrypoint.sh) and used as the .pgpass file.

Docs-only change; no release note.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Clarified the PGPASS_FILE environment variable: specify the path to a pgpass file, with clearer formatting and wording.
    • Explained runtime behavior: the provided file is copied into the container at startup and used as the .pgpass file to supply server passwords, improving guidance for container deployment.

Corrected "varible" -> "variable" and rewrote the broken sentence to
explain that PGPASS_FILE is the path to a pgpass file that is copied into
the container and used as the .pgpass file.
