Thread: pgBackrest for RHEL 9
Greetings Community Members,
I'm curious if pgBackrest is compatible with RHEL9. It appears that pgBackrest relies on the libssh2 library, which has been eliminated from the RHEL 9 repository.
Best Regards,
Sudeep Dass

How do you install Postgresql and PgBackrest? Because it's in https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/common/redhat/rhel-9-x86_64/, so must somehow be compatible.
Although pgBackrest is present in the RHEL9 repository, during installation it searches for the libssh2 library, which is not included in RHEL9.
[root@staging-rr0001 ~]# yum localinstall /home/pgadmin/pgbackrest-2.50-1PGDG.rhel9.x86_64.rpm
