Hi,

I’m getting the below error while trying to run `sudo python rasa_x_commands.py create --update admin me PASSWORD` on a Amazon lightsail instance, as mentioned in [Deploy to a Server](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa-x/deploy/)

```

Please set the environment variables `DB_USER`, `DB_PASSWORD`. You can so so by editing them in the `.env` file in `/etc/rasa`. E.g.

```auto
RASA_X_DEMO_VERSION=0.19.1
RASA_VERSION=1.1.4
CORE_SDK_VERSION=1.1.0
# runtime arguments
RASA_TOKEN=rasatoken
PASSWORD_SALT=saltysalt
JWT_SECRET=jwt
RASA_X_TOKEN=rasaxtoken
RABBITMQ_PASSWORD=password

DB_USER=admin
DB_PASSWORD=password

```

`DB_DATABASE` should already be set, same for `DB_LOGIN_DB`. Can you share your `docker-compose` file?

Sorry that this step is currently missing in the docs, will update that asap
