1-node: meta

Default single-node installation template with extensive configuration parameter descriptions.

The meta configuration template is Pigsty’s default template, designed to fulfill Pigsty’s core functionality—deploying PostgreSQL—on a single node.

To maximize compatibility, meta installs only the minimum required software set to ensure it runs across all operating system distributions and architectures.


Overview

  • Conf Name: meta
  • Node Count: 1-node, pigsty/vagrant/spec/meta.rb
  • Description: Default single-node installation template with extensive configuration parameter descriptions.
  • OS Distro: el8, el9, d12, u22, u24
  • OS Arch: x86_64, aarch64
  • Related: rich, pitr, demo

Usage: This is the default config template, so there’s not need to specify -c meta explicitly during configure:

./configure [-i <primary_ip>]

Caveats

To maintain compatibility across operating systems and architectures, the meta template installs only the minimum required software. This is reflected in the choices for repo_packages and repo_extra_packages:

  • Docker is not downloaded by default.
  • Only essential PostgreSQL extensions—pg_repack, wal2json, and pgvector—are downloaded by default.
  • Tools classified under pgsql-utility but not part of pgsql-common—such as pg_activity, pg_timetable, pgFormatter, pg_filedump, pgxnclient, timescaledb-tools, pgcopydb, and pgloader—are not downloaded.
