the password is - "renderer"

save it to "/convert.sql"

BEGIN;
UPDATE planet_osm_point SET name = COALESCE(tags->'name:he', tags->'name:en', name);
UPDATE planet_osm_line SET name = COALESCE(tags->'name:he', tags->'name:en', name);
UPDATE planet_osm_polygon SET name = COALESCE(tags->'name:he', tags->'name:en', name);
UPDATE planet_osm_roads SET name = COALESCE(tags->'name:he', tags->'name:en', name);

No, there isn't an environment variable for it.

Also see #24

Well, then that would be something to add to the Docker code, so that an environment Variable could be used to force Latin names.

This will likely never happen, because we'd need to rewrite/adjust the SQL queries that are defined in the osm-carto repo for that. Doing that binds us harder to a specific version, which makes updating that dependency harder.

Maybe there is another style that already does this, that you can easily use instead?

I just want to point out that this would not work with automatic updates turned on (you don't have it enabled in your posted commands, so that's fine), because the updates would revert it for changed entries. You'd need to re-run these update queries regularly or need to add them to the update script to be persistent.
