PostgreSQL Snap

This repository contains the packaging metadata for creating a snap of PostgreSQL built from the official Ubuntu repositories. For more information on snaps, visit snapcraft.io.

Installing the Snap

The snap can be installed directly from the Stap Store. Follow the link below for more information.

Building the Snap

Clone Repository

git clone [email protected]:canonical/postgresql-snap.git
cd postgresql-snap

Installing and Configuring Prerequisites

sudo snap install snapcraft
sudo snap install lxd
sudo lxd init --auto

Packing and Installing the Snap

In order to properly test the confinement of the snap, we must install it using the --dangerous flag, instead of the --devmode one. See snap installation modes.

snapcraft pack
sudo snap install ./postgresql*.snap --dangerous --jailmode

Testing Snap

Using Spread:

snapcraft test                       # run all tests
ls -la spread/tests/                 # list all tests
snapcraft test -- spread/tests/smoke # run one test suite
snapcraft test --debug               # to open shell for failed test
