• The following environment variables on your Nitrous.IO box's .bashrc:

  export STARTER_APP_DEV_DB_DATABASE=YOUR_DEV_DB_DATABASE
  export STARTER_APP_DEV_DB_USER=YOUR_DEV_DB_USER
  export STARTER_APP_DEV_DB_PASSWORD=YOUR_DEV_DB_PASSWORD
  export STARTER_APP_DEV_DB_HOST=YOUR_DEV_DB_HOST
  export STARTER_APP_DEV_DB_PORT=YOUR_DEV_DB_PORT
