How to deploy on LXD

This guide assumes you have a running Juju and LXD environment.

For a detailed walkthrough of setting up an environment and deploying the charm on LXD, refer to the Tutorial.

Prerequisites


Bootstrap a juju controller and create a model if you haven’t already:

juju bootstrap localhost <controller name>
juju add-model <model name>

Deploy PostgreSQL:

juju deploy postgresql

See the juju deploy documentation for all available options at deploy time.

See the Configurations tab for specific PostgreSQL parameters.

Sample output of juju status --watch 1s:

Model       Controller  Cloud/Region         Version  SLA          Timestamp
postgresql  overlord    localhost/localhost  2.9.42   unsupported  09:41:53+01:00

App         Version  Status  Scale  Charm       Channel    Rev  Exposed  Message

If you expect having several concurrent connections frequently, it is highly recommended to deploy PgBouncer alongside PostgreSQL. For more information, read our explanation about Connection pooling.
