Add new database user in homestead.yaml

Question

I've specified a second database in my homestead.yaml file and this gets created without a hitch, but it uses the default homestead database user.

Is it possible to also include a new user in homestead.yaml, or is this something I just need to do manually after the vagrant instance is up and running? I didn't notice anything in the docs about this.

It's a Postgres database if that makes any difference.

You can't do this from the yaml file. Alternatively you can write the commands to create the user in after.sh file inside the .homestead folder. This way after the virtual machine is created, it will get executed automatically and your new user will be ready, without you doing it manually.
