  • Backup Postgresql Docker

    Everything online seems to be very old. For example this: https://github.com/lukesmith/docker-postgres-wale. They are all using a very old version of postgresql. If I try to using something newer like version 12, it doesn't work because the newer images don't allow an easy way to execute scripts after the postgres instance has started. Well, you can execute scripts but scripts that need root access don't work.

  • Why PostgreSQL High Availability Matters and How to Achieve It

    one of the solutions which made it pretty simple for us to run postgresql in a ha environment (mostly in k8s, but works standalone as well) is zalandos patroni: https://github.com/zalando/patroni it's really solid and worked for us for a few years already.

    or for k8s their operator: https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator (docker image: https://github.com/zalando/spilo) we've also tried other operators which were easier to get started, but they failed miserably (crunchyrolls operator is basically based on the zalando one)
