Bitnami’s PostgreSQL with repmgr

Postgresql-repmgr from Bitnami is a Docker image that offers a highly available (HA) PostgreSQL cluster config with streaming replication enabled via repmgr. Let’s see the working of this image:

1. One primary PostgreSQL server and one or more standby servers will be present in the image.

2. Repmgr oversees the replication process between the primary and standby servers.

3. The standby servers are continuously streamed with updates from the primary server.

4. Repmgr minimizes downtime by automatically promoting a standby server to become the primary in the event that the primary server fails.

Benefits of Bitnami’s PostgreSQL with repmgr

1. Simplified HA Setup: Makes it easier to create a HA PostgreSQL cluster by giving you a pre-configured image with repmgr and PostgreSQL.

2. Automatic Failover: Promotes a standby server automatically to provide minimal downtime in the event of a server loss.

3. Scalability: For enhanced redundancy and possible read load balancing, you can quickly add extra backup servers to your cluster.
