 - Each user has a unique password
 - Passwords stored in service role variables (use Ansible Vault for production)
 
-## How to Use from Service Roles
-
-### Pattern for Service Roles
-
-When creating a service role that needs PostgreSQL:
-
-**1. Add postgres as a dependency** (`meta/main.yml`):
-```yaml
-dependencies:
-  - role: postgres
-```
-
-**2. Define database variables** (`defaults/main.yml`):
-```yaml
-myservice_db_name: myservice
-myservice_db_user: myservice_user
-myservice_db_password: changeme  # Use Ansible Vault in production!
-myservice_db_host: localhost
-myservice_db_port: 5432
-```
-
-**3. Create database and user** (`tasks/main.yml`):
-```yaml
-- name: Create PostgreSQL database for myservice
-  community.postgresql.postgresql_db:
-    name: "{{ myservice_db_name }}"
-    state: present
-  become: true
-  become_user: "{{ postgres_admin_user }}"
-
-- name: Create PostgreSQL user for myservice
-  community.postgresql.postgresql_user:
-    name: "{{ myservice_db_user }}"
-    password: "{{ myservice_db_password }}"
-    db: "{{ myservice_db_name }}"
-    priv: ALL
-    state: present
-  become: true
-  become_user: "{{ postgres_admin_user }}"
-
-- name: Ensure user has no superuser privileges
-  community.postgresql.postgresql_user:
-    name: "{{ myservice_db_user }}"
-    role_attr_flags: NOSUPERUSER,NOCREATEDB,NOCREATEROLE
-    state: present
-  become: true
-  become_user: "{{ postgres_admin_user }}"
-```
-
-**Note:** `postgres_admin_user` is provided by the postgres role and defaults to `postgres`.
-
-**4. Configure your service** to connect to:
-```
-Host: localhost
-Port: 5432
-Database: myservice
-User: myservice_user
-Password: changeme
-```
-
-### Real Example: Immich
-
-See `roles/immich/` for a complete working example of using this pattern.

+If your service runs in a container (Docker/Podman), you need to configure PostgreSQL to listen on the Podman bridge gateway:
 
-**Option 1: Use host network mode**
+**Step 1: Configure PostgreSQL in inventory**
 ```yaml
-network_mode: host
+# inventory/host_vars/yourserver.yml
+postgres_listen_addresses: "127.0.0.1,{{ podman_subnet_gateway }}"
+postgres_firewall_allowed_sources:
+  - 127.0.0.0/8
+  - "{{ podman_subnet }}"
 ```
-Then connect to `localhost:5432`
 
-**Option 2: Use host.containers.internal (Podman/Docker)**
+**Step 2: Use host.containers.internal in containers**
 ```yaml
+# docker-compose.yml
+services:
+  myservice:
+    extra_hosts:
+      - "host.containers.internal:host-gateway"
+    environment:
       DB_HOSTNAME: host.containers.internal
       DB_PORT: 5432
 ```
 
-**Option 3: Bridge with firewall (less secure)**
+**What this does:**
-Bind postgres to `0.0.0.0` and use container gateway IP.
+- PostgreSQL listens on `127.0.0.1` (localhost) and `10.88.0.1` (Podman gateway)
+- UFW firewall allows connections from localhost and Podman subnet
+- `pg_hba.conf` automatically configured to allow Podman subnet
+- `host.containers.internal` resolves to the gateway IP inside containers
