Solution

You don't need to mess with any env variables. You can adjust the configs at runtime.

Just add a new connection to the configuration at runtime. Then set the default to that new name.

config()->set('database.connections.yournewconnection', [ array like in config ]);

config()->set('database.default', 'yournewconnection');

Then it should be using that new connection by default.
