For example: monica_admin

This is the URL that will be used as primary access point for this service.

For example: monica.example.com

This is the password that will be used for root access to the database.

It is important to use secure, randomly generated password.

You can use a random alphanumeric string from a password manager, or open the terminal and run the command:

tr -dc 'A-Za-z0-9!"#$%&'\''()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~' </dev/urandom | head -c 32; echo

This pulls a random string from the 'urandom' device, removes unwanted characters and trim it to an appropriate length.
