Image Artist: What are the .env, custom.env and docker-compose-custom.env files used for?

.env

Used to set the values of undefined environment variables found in the default docker-compose.yml file directly.

custom.env

Used to add new or override existing environment variable values within the default.env file. (The default.env file is used to set environment variables within the running containers).

docker-compose-custom.yml

Used to add new or override existing entries within the default docker-compose.yml file. Note that the override structure must match the one present in docker-compose.yml.
