 | postgres.noPasswordEnv | bool | If enabled, passwordSecret will be specified as a volumeMount and the env `DB_PASSWORD_PATH` will be set instead to point to that location. The default behaviour is to set the environment variable `DB_PASSWORD` to the value of the postgres password secret. | `false` |
 | postgres.passwordSecret | string | Name of an existing secret in the current namespace with the password of the PostgreSQL instance. The password must be contained in the secret field `password`. This should be set to an empty string if the database does not require a password to connect. | `""` |
