pgo, the Postgres Operator Client from Crunchy Data

pgo: The Postgres Operator Client from Crunchy Data

Latest Release: 0.4.1

Install pgo

The following steps will allow you to download and install the pgo kubectl plugin in your local environment.

Prerequisites

Depending on your deployment type, Kubernetes or OpenShift, kubectl or oc must be installed and configured in your environment. For the purposes of these instructions we will be using the kubectl client. The pgo kubectl plugin will use the role-based access controls (RBAC) that are configured for your kubectl client.

Download the binary

The kubectl-pgo binary is available either through the Crunchy Data Access Portal or via GitHub.

Installing the Client

Linux or Mac

If you downloaded the Linux binary, rename the binary from kubectl-pgo-linux-amd64 to kubectl-pgo. If you downloaded the Mac binary, rename the binary from kubectl-pgo-darwin-amd64 to kubectl-pgo. Once renamed, move the kubectl-pgo binary to /usr/local/bin, and make it executable by running the following commands:

sudo mv /PATH/TO/kubectl-pgo /usr/local/bin/kubectl-pgo
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/kubectl-pgo

Windows

If you downloaded the Windows binary, rename kubectl-pgo-windows-386 to kubectl-pgo.exe. This allows Windows to recognize the file as an executable. The executable binary will need to be added to your PATH as well.

Checking the plugin install

Now that the kubectl-pgo binary is installed on your PATH, it can be used as a kubectl plugin.

Run the following command to ensure that the plugin is working:

kubectl pgo version

or if running in OpenShift:

oc pgo version
