Show HN: pgxman for Postgres Extensions

• trunk

  2 193 9.7 Rust

  Package manager and registry for Postgres extensions (by tembo-io)

  

- Trunk by Tembo (https://github.com/tembo-io/trunk - very similar to pgxman, but using the more liberal Postgres license)

Additionally its important to mention that many popular extensions are already packaged as part of the Postgres YUM and Apt repositories (https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt and https://yum.postgresql.org/).

I would generally recommend using the upstream repository packages directly, since they are tested/updated with each major release, and their maintainers are proactive in reaching out to extension maintainers that need to update their extension due to upstream code changes.

• embedded-postgres-binaries

  5 123 5.9 Shell

  Lightweight bundles of PostgreSQL binaries with reduced size intended for testing purposes.

  

A core part of npm is that the dependencies are installed in the folder/project you are working in (unless you use the --global flag which is discouraged for most use-cases).

Can I use this in any way without a global system state? Like with https://github.com/zonkyio/embedded-postgres-binaries or similar that don't have a global install? Or with a distro that supports multiple versions/instances of postgresql?

Not all extensions have an upstream repository and built debian/yum packages. At Hydra, we test all published in https://github.com/pgxman/buildkit which is available from our registry.
