SHIELD PostgreSQL Add-on

This BOSH release provides add-on tools for augmenting SHIELD Agents with various versions of the PostgreSQL command-line utilities for backup and restore: psql, pg_dump, and pg_dumpall.

Versions

The following versions are currently available:

• 16.6 via shield-addon-postgres-16
• 15.10 via shield-addon-postgres-16
• 13.18 via shield-addon-postgres-16

Need a version we don't (yet) support? Open a Github Issue asking that we package it up. If possible, supply both the full version, and a link to the canonical (postgresql.org) download page.

Using this BOSH Release

Note: This BOSH release is not intended to stand on its own. It exists to augment the shield-agent job of the SHIELD BOSH Release, and only in cases where the psql / pg_dump* utilities are missing.

To colocate this BOSH release with your shield-agent instance group, just add a new job to the group:

instance_groups:
  - name: whatever
    jobs:
      # ...
      - name:    shield-addon-postgres-9.6
        release: shield-addon-postgres

That's really all there is to it.
