given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for

Setup

PostgresQL Repositories

If you are not managing the repos another way, this module can install the postgresql.org release RPM and enable the repo for the version you choose.

Do not enable repo management when using puppetlabs/postgresql's $manage_package_repo option. The two repo management classes are redundant and will conflict with each other.

pgbackrest::manage_package_repo: true      # Boolean
pgbackrest::yumrepos::enable_version: 12   # Integer

If you leave the enable_version parameter undeclared, only the common repo will be enabled. This is the correct choice if you are using a different upstream, such as the PostgresQL AppStream, and only want the addon packages (like pgBackRest). This is the default behavior.

If you wish to prevent updates or to remove the release RPM, you can change:

pgbackrest::yumrepos::release_rpm_ensure: 'absent'

This will naturally prevent installation or updates of pgBackRest.

Usage

Simply adding the module to a profile is sufficient to install pgBackRest.

include pgbackrest

Only include the main class. Do not directly include the subclasses, as they are contained by the top-level class. Subclasses may be refactored without notice.

Limitations

Do not enable manage_package_repo when using puppetlabs/postgresql's $manage_package_repo option. The two repo management classes are redundant.
