Installing the Collection from Ansible Galaxy

Before using the PostgreSQL collection, you need to install it with the Ansible Galaxy command-line tool:

ansible-galaxy collection install community.postgresql

You can include it in a requirements.yml file and install it via ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml, using the format:

---
collections:

You can also download the tarball from Ansible Galaxy and install the collection manually wherever you need.

Note that if you install the collection from Ansible Galaxy with the command-line tool or tarball, it will not be upgraded automatically when you upgrade the Ansible package. To upgrade the collection to the latest available version, run the following command:

You can also install a specific version of the collection, for example, if you need to downgrade when something is broken in the latest version (please report an issue in this repository). Use the following syntax:
