Thread: Installing and Configuring PostgreSQL Extensions via RPMs
Hi, I’m excited to introduce a new community project: "Installing and Configuring PostgreSQL Extensions via RPMs"! https://yum.postgresql.org/extensions/ This document provides detailed guidance on installing and configuring PostgreSQL extensions on RPM-based systems. It goes beyond just running dnf install—covering essential pre-installation steps, configuration options (including GUC settings), and best practices to ensure a smooth setup. A big thank you to Tom Kincaid and EDB for supporting my time on this project! I'd also like to extend this to Magnus Hagander for giving me design ideas and Matthias van de Meent for helping me to categorise the extensions! Please let me know if you find any issues.

Hi, Thanks for sharing this! Really appreciate the effort you and the team put into creating such a detailed guide. I checked the page and found it very helpful. I also noticed a few small typos: pg_repack : emove bloat from tables and indexes, and optionally restore the physical order of clustered indexes without holding an exclusive lock emove -> Remove sslutils : Provides SSL certicate generation functions to Postgres certicate -> certificate pgauditlogtofile : Aaddon to pgAudit than will redirect audit log lines to an independent file, instead of using PostgreSQL server logger Aaddon -> Addon pointcloud : ostgreSQL extension for storing point cloud (LIDAR) data ostgreSQL -> PostgreSQL Hope this helps. Thanks again for the great work!
