Solved. The config/db.php cloned from Hyperlane refers to different env variable names than those in my .env file. Changing the names in config/dp.php solved the issue.

Before:

return [
    'driver' => getenv('DB_DRIVER'),
    'server' => getenv('DB_HOST'),
    'user' => getenv('DB_USER'),
    'password' => getenv('DB_PASSWORD'),
    'database' => getenv('DB_NAME'),
    'schema' => getenv('DB_SCHEMA'),
    'tablePrefix' => getenv('DB_TABLE_PREFIX'),
    'port' => getenv('DB_PORT')
];

After:

return [
    'driver' => getenv('DB_DRIVER'),
    'server' => getenv('DB_SERVER'), // changed
    'user' => getenv('DB_USER'),
    'password' => getenv('DB_PASSWORD'),
    'database' => getenv('DB_DATABASE'), // changed
    'schema' => getenv('DB_SCHEMA'),
    'tablePrefix' => getenv('DB_TABLE_PREFIX'),
    'port' => getenv('DB_PORT')
];
