[Q&A] Combine this with an in-cluster Postgres?

Open IngwiePhoenix opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Hello!

Apologies for posting an issue ticket; Discussions seem to be disabled on this repo.

I had recently been struggling a lot with the Zalando Postgres Operator - having moved the cluster once seemed to have funked it real good and the recovery didn't work as intended. This has led me to look for a "better" solution where I could properly apply users and database credentials right next to the related deployments - which is exactly what this Operator does!

However, I would like to keep my resources in-cluster; my hardware is a little limited in quantity ;)

What would be a good method of applying this against an in-cluster postgres? Any known good charts or deployments that play nice with this?

I only host a few smaller apps like Piped, Shiori and the other odd ones that want a Postgres database - and I plan to use the good old kind: Cronjob to schedule backups.

Thank you and have a great day!

PS.: Your code is an excellent resource for the basics of writing an operator. Been reading it, might try my hand at writing my own in the future!
