Usage

Use Ansible galaxy requirements.yml

    - src: enix.postgresql

And add it to your play's roles:

    - hosts: all
      roles:
        - role enix.postgresql:
            postgresql__var: true

You can also use the role as a playbook. You will be asked which hosts to provision, and you can further configure the play by using --extra-vars.

ansible-playbook -i inventory --extra-vars='{...}' main.yml

Still to do

  • Check if we are deploying on a replica. In this case do no createdb, createuser
  • Add CI tests using molecule
