💖 pgagroal_hba.conf — the host based access glow-up 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is pgagroal_hba.conf(5), a File Formats Manual page, and it is literally the bouncer list for your connections. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

pgagroal_hba.conf — Host based access configuration file for pgagroal ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

pgagroal_hba.conf is the file that spells out the host based access pattern for pgagroal. that's it, that's the whole vibe — it decides who gets in and who gets told no. 💅

🎀 FORMAT 🎀

every rule is a lil row with a TYPE, a DATABASE, a USER, an ADDRESS and a METHOD. let's break down every single one, because we do not skip parts in this house:

  • TYPE — this is the access method for clients. only host is supported, so don't get creative, bestie. 🚫
  • DATABASE — the database this rule is for. you can drop a specific name in here, or use all if you mean every single database. 👑
  • USER — the user this rule is for. again: a specific name, or all for all users. no gatekeeping beyond what you write here. 💜
  • ADDRESS — the network this rule covers. all means all networks. otherwise it's an IPv4 address with a mask (0.0.0.0/0) or an IPv6 address with a mask (::0/0). both styles are literally right there, use whichever fits. 🌈
  • METHOD — the authentication mode for the user. all means all methods (yes, all of them, chaos queen 👑), otherwise it's one of trust, reject, password, md5 or scram-sha-256. pick your fighter. 🔥

✨ EXAMPLE ✨

here's the moment you've been waiting for, the actual file, copied exactly so you can't mess it up:

#
# TYPE  DATABASE USER  ADDRESS  METHOD
#
host    all      all   all      all

it's giving "everyone come in, i trust y'all completely" energy. use responsibly. 🙈
