Thanks for this! I'll try and take a look at this today.

I didn't forget about this, trying to get a change in before we move forward with this.

Hiya, any ETA on merging this? 😁

If someone is able to address the requested changes, it could help speed things up.

New major releases just need to be thoroughly tested before we roll it out as they’ll become the default for new PG provisions.

I’m mostly chipping in during my very limited spare time, so any extra help from the community can really help speed things up. I've been swamped, but i'll see if I can carve out some time this week to help get this over the finish line.

It looks like @cedws resolved the comments on the review. Do you just need someone to test it? What's the best way to do that?

Yeah, there wasn't a new "request to review" so I missed it. 😅

Sorry, I wasn't clear in my previous comment. For this kind of thing, having the PR in a spot where I can take it and do the required testing is more than enough!

Appreciate your help!

That's my bad, I didn't press the button. Thanks.

Welp, my job here is done.

/me dusts his hands off; goes to lunch for the rest of the day

Is the plan to continue the original fly pg along side the coming soon managed service? Or is it getting wound down to more of a community supported project?

I suspect the latter, but time will tell.

Question, if I just take this Docker image, build it, and upload to Docker hub, can I deploy it as a fly pg instance?

https://github.com/fly-apps/postgres-flex/pull/266/files#diff-80e617f45dbde7e7b00dbf8fc1dbf232debca24a086294cb58f0d55825462003

If you do fly pg create --image-ref and pass the image you have built yes. That's how I tested it.

If you don't want to host it on Docker Hub, you can create an empty Fly app just to hold the image in the registry, and reference the image when running fly pg create.

I should be able to get to this today, but yes, that is correct.

# Build the docker image
docker build . -f pg17/Dockerfile -t <docker-username>/postgres-flex:17.2 --platform linux/amd64

# Push the image
docker push <docker-username>/postgres-flex:17.2

# Reference the image
fly pg create --name <pg-app-name> --image-ref  <docker-username>/postgres-flex:17.2

@punkpeye Which extension specifically?

The main issue with third-party extensions is that compatibility with new major versions can sometimes take awhile. It either ends up blocking major version releases, or it ends up creating a documentation issue.

Aight, PG 17.2 has been rolled out. Thanks for the help!
