Problem at setting up the starter with different database credentials

Bug report

Describe the bug

Trying to set up the b2b starter with an existing database instance that has different credentials (username, password) but it throws an error. (see the screenshot below)

System information

Node.js version: v22.8.0 Database: Postgres 14 Operating system: WSL (Ubuntu 22.04)

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Create database instance using docker compose with the following setup

   services:
   medusa-db:
   image: postgres:14
   environment:
     - POSTGRES_DB=medusa-backend
     - POSTGRES_USER=username
     - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password
   ports:
     - "5432:5432"
   
   medusa-cache:
   image: redis:6
   ports:
     - "6379:6379"

2. Clone the repository and run yarn install && yarn setup

Expected behavior

It should to prompt me to enter the database credentials then the database name then complete the setup.

Additionally it would be nice to provide a docker-compose.yml file to start with in this case. This is the docker-compose.yml file that I used to circumvent the problem for now.

services:
  medusa-db:
    image: postgres:latest
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=trust
    ports:
      - "5432:5432"

  medusa-cache:
    image: redis:6
    ports:
      - "6379:6379"

Hey @abusarah-tech, apologies for the delay, I was on vacation. Did you manage to figure this out yet?

Hey, welcome back! I saw you got back to a surprise from @VariableVic 😄 I haven't still figured out how to use a postgres instance that requires authentication.

Thanks! Can you open a PR on this repo with the docker changes? Let me know how I can reproduce the issue, will dig in later today.
