Morning and happy Wednesday everybody! In getting my first GA standup of VB365 v8 up and running I was reminded (via Google) that I wrote up how to stand up a PostgreSQL server on Ubuntu for Veeam purposes. Keep in mind for anybody here especially doing this you are most likely going to want to scale out the DB onto it’s own server so hopefully this is something you are considering. https://www.koolaid.info/postgresql-on-ubuntu-2022-4-installation-configuration-for-veeam-purposes/
How to: Postgres for Veeam on Ubuntu 22.04

+21Definitely considering this for the new V8 for sure. May use another flavor of Linux like Rocky but will come in handy. 👍

+8Out of curiosity what would lead you towards Rocky? While I like it I feel like Ubuntu’s Debian base gives it a security leg up to start with and while Rocky is a fork of CentOS the reality is it’s still just a 2 year old project, makes me wonder about it’s stability.

+21Just thinking about the ISO for VHR mainly to keep things consistent. I am not against going Ubuntu at all but we are trying to standardize on certain flavors of Linux for specific areas.

+8That’s an interesting idea about the ISO. That said isn’t it really dialed into a physical hardware?

+21Yeah that is the main thing about the ISO is physical hardware but I am just thinking continuity for all components, etc. I am still open on this one and will be doing some testing, etc. 😋

+7Yeah, I’ve been using Ubuntu for everything, but have also been giving Rocky another look because of the VHR ISO. That said, I’ll probably end up in a mixed environment, and will likely still use Ubuntu for manual VHR builds.

Deployed a Rocky 9.4 instance for a Postgres DB Server for a new 12.2 deployment. Worked very well once I had all the information for PG16, etc. Also ran the Postgres Optimization on VBR then the SQL file on the server. Pretty cool.
