rich

Feature-rich single-node configuration with local software repository, all extensions, MinIO backup, and complete examples

The rich configuration template is an enhanced version of meta, designed for users who need to experience complete functionality.

If you want to build a local software repository, use MinIO for backup storage, run Docker applications, or need preconfigured business databases, use this template.


Overview

  • Config Name: rich
  • Node Count: Single node
  • Description: Feature-rich single-node configuration, adding local software repository, MinIO backup, complete extensions, Docker application examples on top of meta
  • OS Distro: el8, el9, el10, d12, d13, u22, u24
  • OS Arch: x86_64, aarch64
  • Related: meta, slim, fat

This template’s main enhancements over meta:

  • Builds local software repository (repo_enabled: true), downloads all PG extensions
  • Enables single-node MinIO as PostgreSQL backup storage
  • Preinstalls TimescaleDB, pgvector, pg_wait_sampling and other extensions
  • Includes detailed user/database/service definition comment examples
  • Adds Redis primary-replica instance example
  • Preconfigures pg-test three-node HA cluster configuration stub

Usage:

./configure -c rich [-i <primary_ip>]

Explanation

The rich template is Pigsty’s complete functionality showcase configuration, suitable for users who want to deeply experience all features.

Use Cases:

  • Offline environments requiring local software repository
  • Environments needing MinIO as PostgreSQL backup storage
  • Pre-planning multiple business databases and users
  • Running Docker applications (pgAdmin, Bytebase, etc.)
  • Learners wanting to understand complete configuration parameter usage

Main Differences from meta:

  • Enables local software repository building (repo_enabled: true)
  • Enables MinIO storage backup (pgbackrest_method: minio)
  • Preinstalls TimescaleDB, pg_wait_sampling and other additional extensions
  • Includes detailed parameter comments for understanding configuration meanings
  • Preconfigures HA cluster stub configuration (pg-test)

Notes:

  • Some extensions unavailable on ARM64 architecture, adjust as needed
  • Building local software repository requires longer time and larger disk space
  • Default passwords are sample passwords, must be changed for production
