-#### Authenticating with Postgres in Phoenix
-
-When using the Phoenix example above, the `postgres` container has some
-default authentication set up. Specifically, it expects a username of
-"postgres", and a password of "postgres". It will be available at
-`localhost:5432`.
-
-The simplest way of setting these auth values in CI is by checking for the
-`GITHUB_ACTIONS` environment variable that is set in all workflows:
-
-```elixir
-# config/test.exs
-
-use Mix.Config
-
-# Configure the database for local testing
-config :app, App.Repo,
-  database: "my_app_test",
-  hostname: "localhost",
-  pool: Ecto.Adapters.SQL.Sandbox
-
-# Configure the database for GitHub Actions
-if System.get_env("GITHUB_ACTIONS") do
-  config :app, App.Repo,
-    username: "postgres",
-    password: "postgres"
-end
-```
