Helm chart: cannot login with admin credentials

It seems that there isn’t a possible way to log into postgres with the “admin” user defined in the Kubernetes helm chart here.

By default here are the users once I log in with -U postgres password tea.

postgres=# \du
                                           List of roles
 Role name  |                         Attributes                         |        Member of
------------+------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
 admin      | Create role, Create DB, Cannot login                       | {}
 pgq_admin  | Cannot login                                               | {pgq_reader,pgq_writer}
 pgq_reader | Cannot login                                               | {}
 pgq_writer | Cannot login                                               | {}
 postgres   | Superuser, Create role, Create DB, Replication, Bypass RLS | {}
 robot_zmon | Cannot login                                               | {}
 standby    | Replication                                                | {}

It doesn’t seem like there is an environment variable for PGPASSWORD_ADMIN either in the docs. Anywhere I can help with this issue I’d gladly open a PR as well.

Thanks for the fast reply. I would suggest then that from the start the admin role shouldn’t have login permissions.

I also ran into this issue when I followed the instructions in https://github.com/kubernetes/charts/tree/master/incubator/patroni

The repo says that the admin password is cola. However, when I try to log in as an admin user, I get the following.

root@ubuntu:/# psql -U admin -h my-release-patroni.default.svc.cluster.local postgres
Password for user admin: 
psql: FATAL:  password authentication failed for user "admin"
FATAL:  password authentication failed for user "admin"

The user postgres and password tea works.
