Overview

Pigsty

Pigsty is a Me-Better Open-Source RDS Alternative with:

Free RDS for PostgreSQL! check for details.

  • Battery-Included PostgreSQL Distribution, with , TimescaleDB, , PGVector, etc…
  • Incredible observability powered by & Grafana stack. Public .
  • Self-healing HA PGSQL cluster, powered by patroni, , etcd…
  • Auto-Configured PITR, powered by and optional MinIO cluster
  • Declarative API, Database-as-Code implemented with playbooks.
  • Versatile Scenarios, run Docker apps, build demos, visualize data with .
  • Handy Toolbox, provision IaaS with Terraform, and try with local sandbox.

Prepare a new node with Linux x86_64 EL compatible OS, then run as a sudo-able user:

Then you will have a pigsty singleton node ready, with Web Services on port 80 and Postgres on port 5432.

Check Installation for details.

Download Directly

You can also download pigsty source and packages with git or curl directly:

  1. # get from GitHub
  2. bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Vonng/pigsty/master/bin/get)"
  4. # or download tarball directly with curl
  5. curl -L https://github.com/Vonng/pigsty/releases/download/v2.0.2/pigsty-v2.0.2.tgz -o ~/pigsty.tgz                 # SRC
  6. curl -L https://github.com/Vonng/pigsty/releases/download/v2.0.2/pigsty-pkg-v2.0.2.el9.x86_64.tgz -o /tmp/pkg.tgz  # EL9
  7. curl -L https://github.com/Vonng/pigsty/releases/download/v2.0.2/pigsty-pkg-v2.0.2.el8.x86_64.tgz -o /tmp/pkg.tgz  # EL8

  11. git clone https://github.com/Vonng/pigsty; cd pigsty; git checkout v2.0.2
  • INFRA: Local yum repo, Nginx, DNS, and entire Prometheus & Grafana observability stack.
  • : Init node name, repo, pkg, NTP, ssh, admin, tune, expose services, collect logs & metrics.
  • ETCD: Init etcd cluster for HA Postgres DCS or Kubernetes, used as distributed config store.
  • : Autonomous self-healing PostgreSQL cluster powered by Patroni, Pgbouncer, PgBackrest & HAProxy
  • REDIS: Deploy Redis servers in standalone master-replica, sentinel, and native cluster mode, optional.
  • : S3-compatible object storage service used as an optional central backup server for PGSQL.

You can compose them freely in a declarative manner. If you want host monitoring, INFRA & NODE will suffice. ETCD and PGSQL are used for HA PG clusters, install them on multiple nodes will automatically form a HA cluster. You can also reuse pigsty infra and develop your own modules, KAFKA, MYSQL, GPSQL, and more will come.

The default install.yml playbook in will install INFRA, NODE, ETCD & PGSQL on the current node. which gives you a battery-included PostgreSQL singleton instance (admin_ip:5432) with everything ready. This node can be used as an admin center & infra provider to manage, deploy & monitor more nodes & clusters.

Check Architecture for details.

To deploy a 3-node HA Postgres Cluster with streaming replication, define a new cluster on all.children.pg-test of :

  1. pg-test:
  2.   hosts:
  3.     10.10.10.11: { pg_seq: 1, pg_role: primary }
  4.     10.10.10.12: { pg_seq: 2, pg_role: replica }
  5.     10.10.10.13: { pg_seq: 3, pg_role: offline }
  6.   vars:  { pg_cluster: pg-test }

Then create it with built-in playbooks:

You can deploy different kinds of instance roles, such as primary, replica, offline, delayed, sync standby, and different kinds of clusters, such as standby clusters, Citus clusters, and even Redis/MinIO/Etcd clusters.
