Publish list of available environment variables

Short description

Interested in a published list of the different override-able environment variables for docker-compose.yml

Usecase

Easier ability to work with docker-compose.

Description

It would be great if there was a list that showed the available environment variables for docker-compose. It seems every online example I can find uses different variable names, and I'm not sure where they are coming up with the naming convention because it does not look to match.

Are these helpful at all?

Thank you but I'm specifically looking for which env variables are used to link PDNS to mysql instead of the default SQLite database - so far I've been unsuccessful overriding the .conf file with GMYSQL variables and I'm having trouble finding the correct variables names to use - I've searched the code and come up with things like:

gmysql-host=...
gmysql-password=...

but it does not seem to work - I will be reviewing the logs shortly but wanted to put out a feature request for the environment variables because that would have helped me immensely - or maybe I'm missing a good way to find what they should be (I'm still pretty new to docker-compose).

Those are not environment variables. They need to go in pdns.conf or on the commandline (with -- prefixed)

Appreciate it, thanks @Habbie
