💖 cdist-type__postgres_role — bestie's guide to postgres roles 💖

okay so real talk, this is a page from the cdist manual, section 7, and it's all about the cdist-type__postgres_role type. yes, the name is a whole mouthful, i know, but she's worth it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

cdist-type__postgres_role — managing postgres roles, the cdist way 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this cdist type lets you create or drop postgres roles. that's the whole vibe. you want a role? slay, she's here. you want that role gone? also handled. no cap ✨

🎀 OPTIONAL PARAMETERS 🎀

  • state — either "present" or "absent", and if you just don't say anything she defaults to "present" 💖

also, literally all the other parameters map directly to the corresponding postgres createrole parameters. like, straight up. same names, same energy, no translation layer, iykyk.

  • password — yeah, that one. the password. 🔐

🌈 BOOLEAN PARAMETERS 🌈

same deal as above bestie — all parameters map directly to the corresponding postgres createrole parameters. so whatever createrole calls it, that's what you call it here.

  • login
  • createdb
  • createrole
  • superuser
  • inherit

that's the whole list. go wild 💅

🦋 EXAMPLES 🦋

here's the part where it all clicks, fr fr. watch:

__postgres_role myrole
__postgres_role myrole --password 'secret'
__postgres_role admin --password 'very-secret' --superuser
__postgres_role dbcustomer --password 'bla' --createdb

see? iconic. look at admin out here with --superuser, main character energy honestly 👑
