+        The password of the database is not written world readable in the store any more. If <literal>database.host</literal> is set to <literal>localhost</literal>, then a unix user of the same name as the database will be created and PostreSQL peer authentication will be used, removing the need for a password. Otherwise, a password is still needed and can be provided with the new option <literal>database.passwordFile</literal>, which should be set to the path of a file containing the password and readable by the user <literal>nginx</literal> only. The <literal>database.password</literal> option is insecure and deprecated. Usage of this option will print a warning.
