To set a specific password for the web interface, use the environment variable `FTLCONF_webserver_api_password` (per the quick-start example). If this variable is not detected, and you have not already set one previously inside the container via `pihole setpassword` or `pihole-FTL --config webserver.api.password`, then a random password will be assigned on startup, and will be printed to the log. You can find this password with the command `docker logs pihole | grep random password` on your host to find this password. See [Notes On Web Interface Password](#notes-on-web-interface-password) below for usage examples.

!!! note
To _explicitly_ set no password, set `FTLCONF_webserver_api_password: ''`<br/><br/>
Using `pihole setpassword` for the purpose of setting an empty password will not persist between container restarts

#### `FTLCONF_dns_upstreams` (Default: `8.8.8.8;8.8.4.4`)
