Describe the bug
Taskcafe-web doesn't seem to handle database host values anymore.

Even following this guide's installation process doesn't work anymore: https://www.llewellynhughes.co.uk/post/installing-taskcafe/#install-taskcafe
Using the exact unmodified docker-compose.yml file in that guide also triggers this issue for me.
Expected behavior
I expected taskcafe-web to try and connect to taskcafe_db (the hostname) but instead it calls for 127.0.0.1 (localhost)

Screenshots / Live demo link

The docker-compose.yml in use

Additional context
There is a possibility that taskcafe now expects the database to be ran on localhost but i can't seem to find any reasoning or explanation anywhere about this, the docker-compose files aren't even updated for this, so it's most likely a bug.

I found the solution but it's the nightmare scenario.

The host values are all hardcoded over at /internal/config/config.go

The TASKCAFE_DATABASE_HOST parameter is only mentioned inside of the docker-compose.yml files,
suggesting it's basically ignored.

I'm really suggesting them to be moved over to a .env file so people can easily change them.

Also once i got further i encountered more errors that made me realize what happened.
The main github branch is not safe. There are small errors left and right, it looks like things that were meant for a dev branch got onto the main one.
Either way, i should have tried the source code from the releases first, despite what all online guides show.

wait i didn't mean to close, i still think having an .env file would be a very good addition to people running everything cleanly containerized.

Workaround for the 0.3.2 release version: https://github.com/JordanKnott/taskcafe/releases/tag/0.3.2
is by modifying the hardcoded values in internal/commands/commands.go

I got it running now
