PostgreSQL snap

This repository contains the packaging metadata for creating a snap of PostgreSQL built from the official Ubuntu repositories.

For more information about using the PostgreSQL snap, including commands and examples, see docs/ folder.

sudo snap install postgresql

Clone the repository:

git clone [email protected]:canonical/postgresql-snap.git
cd postgresql-snap

Install and configure prerequisites:

sudo snap install snapcraft
sudo snap install lxd
sudo lxd init --auto

In order to properly test the confinement of the snap, we must install it using the --dangerous flag, instead of the --devmode one. See snap installation modes.

snapcraft pack
sudo snap install ./postgresql*.snap --dangerous --jailmode

See the examples below for how to use Spread for snap testing:

snapcraft test                       # run all tests
ls -la spread/tests/                 # list all tests
snapcraft test -- spread/tests/smoke # run one test suite
snapcraft test --debug               # to open shell for failed test
