Installing Patroni

Suggest edits

EDB provides Patroni to customers by way of the edb-patroni package. This package provides Patroni and all its dependencies, so you don't need to install additional packages on the Postgres nodes.

Since the dependencies don't have to be installed separately, you don't need to install the python3-cdiff, python3-psutil, python3-psycopg2, python3-ydiff, python3-click, python3-click, python3-six, python3-dateutil, python3-prettytable, python3-pyyaml, python3-urllib3, python3-etcd, python3-dns, or python3-certifi packages.

Packages are available for all subscribed customers with a valid EDB account under any entitlement (Community360, Standard, and Enterprise).

Note

The edb-patroni package doesn't provide packages for the etcd server needed for the DCS cluster.

Once you have the EDB repository configured on all the nodes of the cluster, run the following commands based on the Linux distribution you're using.

Debian/Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install -y edb-patroni

Note

On Debian and Ubuntu installations, if you previously installed the Patroni package named patroni using the EDB repositories, apt upgrade will not replace this package with the edb-patroni package. Executing apt install edb-patroni will install edb-patroni as a replacement of patroni.

See Quick start on Debian 11 for a more detailed configuration example.

RHEL/CentOS

sudo dnf install -y edb-patroni

See Quick start on RHEL8 for a more detailed configuration example.

Installing community packages

We also support community packages provided through PGDG repositories. Follow the PGDG deb download instructions to set up the apt repository or the PGDG rpm download instructions for the yum repository. Keep in mind that you need to configure Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) for PGDG rpm repositories.
