# Stands up Postgres on a container network, for scenarios whose role has a database.
#
# Include from a scenario's prepare.yml:
#
#   - name: Ensure Postgres is running
#     ansible.builtin.include_tasks:
#       file: "{{ lookup('env', 'MOLECULE_PROJECT_DIRECTORY') }}/../../../molecule-shared/tasks/postgres.yml"
#     vars:
#       molecule_shared_postgres_network: "{{ <role>_container_network }}"
#       molecule_shared_postgres_database: matrix_<role>
#       molecule_shared_postgres_username: matrix_<role>
#       molecule_shared_postgres_password: <something>
#
# The role should then be pointed at it with its own `_database_engine: postgres` and
# `_database_hostname: matrix-postgres-molecule` (or whatever hostname is passed here).
#
# This is what the playbook does in a real run: `group_vars/matrix_servers` selects postgres
# whenever postgres is enabled, which is the default. sqlite is the path almost nobody uses.
