-The role creates a user for the Borg repositories on the Borg server. You can
-specify the location of the home directory with `borg_server_user_home`, which
-will also be the location for the backups.
+By default, the role uses the `borg` user on the backup server and creates it
+automatically. To use a different user, set `borg_server_user`:
```yaml
-borg_server_user_home: /opt/borg
+borg_server_user: backupserver
+borg_server_user_home: /var/backups
```
+The `borg_server_user_home` specifies the home directory of the borg user on
+the server. All client repositories will be saved in this directory.
+
+To disable automatic user creation (when the user is managed externally), set:
+
+```yaml
+borg_server_user_create: false
+```
+
+When disabled, the user must exist before running the role.
+
For the backup itself, there are a few Borg parameters you can configure.
Not all options that Borg offers are available in the Ansible role yet. For more
configuration options, see <https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io>.
