1-node: meta
Categories:
The meta configuration template is Pigsty’s default template, designed to fulfill Pigsty’s core functionality—deploying PostgreSQL—on a single node.
To maximize compatibility, meta installs only the minimum required software set to ensure it runs across all operating system distributions and architectures.
Overview
- Conf Name:
meta - Node Count: 1-node,
pigsty/vagrant/spec/meta.rb - Description: Default single-node installation template with extensive configuration parameter descriptions.
- OS Distro:
el8,el9,d12,u22,u24 - OS Arch:
x86_64,aarch64 - Related:
rich,pitr,demo
Usage: This is the default config template, so there’s not need to specify -c meta explicitly during configure:
./configure [-i <primary_ip>]
For example, if you wish to install PostgreSQL 16 rather than the default 17, you can use the -v arg in configure:
./configure -v 16 # or 15,14,13,...

Caveats
To maintain compatibility across operating systems and architectures, the meta template installs only the minimum required software. This is reflected in the choices for repo_packages and repo_extra_packages:
- Docker is not downloaded by default.
- Only essential PostgreSQL extensions—
pg_repack,wal2json, andpgvector—are downloaded by default. - Tools classified under
pgsql-utilitybut not part ofpgsql-common—such aspg_activity,pg_timetable,pgFormatter,pg_filedump,pgxnclient,timescaledb-tools,pgcopydb, andpgloader—are not downloaded.
