##### ANSIBLE VERSION
```
ansible 2.9.7
config file = /home/myhome/.ansible/ansible.cfg

##### CONFIGURATION
My inventory contains vms and containers: most of them are acceded with ssh
connection, and some of containers with lxd connection.
The default config (group_vars:all.yml) is ssh based, and is overriden by
lxd config on host_vars and host inventory declarations.

ansible-playbook -i inventories/lab/datbases-postgres.inventory -l
lxd-postgreSQL-v12 playbooks/app_postgreSQL_deploy.yml --ask-vault -vvv
