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

Enterprise Modules

Table of Contents

Overview

On the Puppet forge there are already some modules available that can help you install the postgres software on your system. Most of these modules, however, are missing facilities for you to create and configure databases.

The pg_config module is the missing link. This module extends the puppet language so that Puppet knows about Postgres and the things there are to manage inside of a Postgres database.

The module support Postgres 10,11,12,13,14 and 15

The module supports multiple instances of Postgres on a system.

License

This is a commercially licensed module. But you can use the module on VirtualBox based development systems for FREE. When used on real systems a license is required.

You can license our modules in multiple ways. Our basic licensing model requires a subscription per node. But contact us for details.

Check the License for details.

Description

  • Create, manage and drop Postgres databases (pg_database)
  • Manage the parameter setting of a Postgres database (pg_parameter)
  • Create, manage and drop Postgres users and roles (pg_role)
  • Create, manage and drop Postgres tablespaces (pg_tablespaces)
  • Create, update, manage and drop Postgres schema definitions (pg_schema_definition)
  • Create, update, manage and drop (configuration) records in a Postgres table. (pg_record)
  • Create your own custom facts based on Postgres database content
  • An easy way to execute arbitrary SQL scripts with unless and only_if inhibitors to facilitate idempotence. (pg_exec)

Check the documentation here

Setup

Requirements

The pg_config module requires:

  • Puppet module enterprisemodules-easy_type installed.
  • Puppet version 6.0 or higher. Can be Puppet Enterprise or Puppet Open Source
  • A valid Enterprise Modules license for usage.
  • Runs on most Linux systems.

Installing the pg_config module

To install these modules, you can use a Puppetfile

mod 'enterprisemodules/pg_config'               ,'x.x.x'

Then use the librarian-puppet or r10K to install the software.

You can also install the software using the puppet module command:

puppet module install enterprisemodules-pg_config

Usage

Building a total Postgre setup requires quite some work. To help you, we have built some examples. The repo contains a demonstration of a simple database installation and configuration.
