pgxman
for discovery and installation of extensions. Think of pgxman like npm for Postgres extensions - it’s just one command to install plugins, one command to upgrade, and pgxman enables the local development experience to perfectly mirror production. We recommend browsing the pgxman extension registry to discover new, powerful plugins.
pgxman integrates with the system package manager, ensuring the correct versions are installed without extra packages from any shared dependencies between extensions. pgxman’s automated build system creates APT packages for each Postgres version, platform, and OS supported by the extension. Extensions are built from a buildkit formula, written in YAML, and are contributed through GitHub.
While we do plan to allow Hydra users to interact with pgxman directly in the future, if you’d like to add any Postgres extension to your database, please open a support ticket. pgxman makes it easy for our team to resolve your requests quickly.
If you’d like to add an extension that it outside of the pgxman extension registry, follow the documentation to add the new extension to the registry. Once the extension is added to the registry, we’ll have it added to your custom built Postgres instance.
