1 - Pigsty v4.5.0

Pigsty v4.5.0 is a feature release focused on new pilot modules, replaceable data services, cluster-identity-aware orchestration, observability, and the software supply chain. It introduces Kafka KRaft and MySQL 8.4 modules, adds Valkey to REDIS, converges the MINIO module on Silo, and expands the packaged extension catalog from 531 to 575 extensions. Released on 2026-08-15. See the GitHub release and the complete source comparison at v4.4.0...v4.5.0.

Highlights

• 575 extensions: Compared with v4.4.0’s 531 entries, the current catalog adds 46 and removes 2, for a net gain of 44. It now contains 575 extensions across 406 non-contrib package families, with RPM/DEB coverage tracked per platform.
• Kafka KRaft module: Adds native Pigsty orchestration for Kafka, with multi-cluster support, dynamic member enrollment and retirement, SCRAM/TLS, secure credential rotation, monitoring metrics, and Grafana dashboards.
• MySQL 8.4 module: Adds standalone and three-node InnoDB Cluster deployments, MySQL Router, XtraBackup, user and database provisioning, monitoring and alerting, and idempotent reconciliation.
• Valkey and Silo: REDIS adds redis_type: valkey; the final MINIO source accepts only minio_type: silo. The RustFS integration developed during this cycle was fully withdrawn before the candidate baseline.
• 51 standalone configuration templates: Adds demo/kafka, demo/mysql, and the eight-node ha/octo simulation template to the 48 standalone templates in v4.4.0. The compatibility symlink conf/app/supa.yml → ../supabase.yml remains available.
• Safer cluster-identity orchestration: PGSQL, REDIS, MINIO, KAFKA, and MYSQL initialization playbooks, plus every corresponding removal playbook except mysql-rm.yml, skip unrelated hosts by explicit cluster identity. mysql-rm.yml instead fails closed for any wrongly selected host. etcd delegation and DBSU key exchange now use actual cluster members as well.
• Observability and supply chain: Re-exports Grafana dashboards to Dashboard API v2, moves MinIO/Silo collection to Metrics V3, and generates local repositories atomically with SOW instead of synthetic ModuleMD metadata.
• Kernel and toolchain updates: Completes pgBackRest support for PostgreSQL 19 beta2, enables cluster mode for Percona PostgreSQL TDE, fixes IvorySQL initialization and WAL compression, and refreshes extension package maps, exporters, and build tooling.

New Modules and Data Services

• The Kafka module uses node state as the source of truth for dynamic KRaft orchestration. It manages one or more clusters in one inventory and also supports an unbounded kafka.yml run; partial --limit selections are rejected. The destructive kafka-rm.yml instead requires a non-empty -l/--limit and validates a safe absolute data path plus surviving broker/controller anchors before any partial retirement can stop services. Nodes retain authoritative manifests and secrets, with dynamic controller joins, broker admission, member retirement, three-step dead-node replacement, SCRAM-SHA-512/TLS, credential and certificate rotation, and self-tested partition health gates.
• The MySQL pilot module targets a fixed MySQL 8.4 LTS platform and accepts either a standalone node or a three-node InnoDB Cluster. It includes MySQL Shell and Router, scheduled full XtraBackup backups, TLS, account and database provisioning, primary-key policy checks, conservative member removal, and idempotent reconciliation.
• The REDIS module retains redis as its default engine and can deploy Valkey with redis_type: valkey. Service units now use Type=notify with a 1,800-second startup timeout, plus stronger topology validation, password handling, tag-scoped removal semantics, and rebuild protection.
• The MINIO module now deploys Silo and only Silo. minio_type remains an extension point, but silo is the sole accepted value in this release. Startup checks the systemd Invocation ID and ActiveState=active for the current restart, waits about 600 seconds by default, and then runs Silo’s cluster health check. The Infra package line adds silo and mcli while preserving the S3/Admin APIs, /minio/* routes, MINIO_* environment variables, and disk format.
• Object-storage topology is grouped by minio_cluster; its inventory group name may differ, and one inventory may declare multiple object-storage clusters. Use distinct minio_alias, minio_domain, and minio_endpoint values for each to avoid overwriting shared client aliases on INFRA nodes. demo/minio now selects Silo explicitly and trims its local repository to the infra,node modules.
• The standalone FERRET module is replaced by PostgreSQL Mongo mode and the FerretDB Docker APP. PostgreSQL provides the DocumentDB data layer, while Docker Compose provides the FerretDB protocol layer.

Orchestration, Security, and Tooling

• deploy.yml, slim.yml, and the PGSQL, REDIS, MINIO, KAFKA, and MYSQL initialization playbooks now skip unrelated hosts according to the corresponding *_cluster identity. The PGSQL, REDIS, MINIO, and KAFKA removal playbooks do the same. MySQL removal is intentionally different: mysql-rm.yml does not skip hosts without identity and instead fails closed in mysql_rm_check. Every host that enters a role still receives an internal identity check.
• PGSQL configuration, PITR, and removal workflows delegate only when the canonical etcd group exists and has at least one member; they no longer silently fall back to localhost when no etcd target exists. DBSU SSH keys are exchanged through the actual pg_cluster_members, correctly covering cross-inventory-group topologies such as Citus.
• PGSQL PITR and removal now delete only the etcd subtree bounded by /<cluster>/, avoiding adjacent clusters whose names share a prefix. The initial pgBackRest marker /etc/pgbackrest/initial.done is written only after the backup command succeeds.
• HAProxy uses the fixed /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg and /etc/haproxy/conf.d layout, upstream master-worker mode, a master socket, and Type=notify. dnsmasq now binds dynamically, answers private reverse lookups locally, and handles node addresses added after INFRA initialization.
• Rendered systemd units managed by Pigsty are consistently placed under /etc/systemd/system; permissions on sensitive configuration and privileged files are tightened further. Removal workflows stop services before entering the data-cleanup phase.
• The REPO and CACHE roles now use sow create --pigsty to atomically generate RPM/APT metadata and the SHA-256 repo_complete marker, and no longer generate synthetic ModuleMD metadata. pg_id also compares cluster size as an explicit integer for older Ansible releases.
• RPM exporter package names move from underscores to hyphens, for example node_exporter → node-exporter. Debian repository naming and PGDG YUM extension package mappings are corrected as well.
• Tuned profiles now use the OS-specific directory: /etc/tuned/profiles on EL 10, Debian 13, and Ubuntu 26, and /etc/tuned on EL 8/9, Debian 12, and Ubuntu 22/24. Debian/Ubuntu package installation also suppresses premature starts of Silo, Redis/Valkey, and legacy log services.
• China-region repository routing receives a systematic refresh. OS, Docker, Grafana, Percona, supported MongoDB APT, and uv/PyPI paths prefer Tencent Cloud; EL and Docker entries retain Huawei Cloud and Aliyun fallbacks where appropriate. MySQL and Kubernetes use USTC mirrors, and ClickHouse uses Huawei Cloud. MongoDB RPM no longer advertises an unavailable China-region alternative. The final per-platform choices remain defined in roles/node_id/vars/<os>.<arch>.yml.
• The Docker image moves to Debian 13.6 and Pigsty v4.5.0. Vagrant enforces a 32 GiB root disk, accepts pinned box versions, and adds the eight-node ha/octo lab. docker/Makefile fixes its data directory at ./data, and make purge deletes that directory directly.
• GitHub Actions for checkout, CodeQL, Docker build/login, and Cosign are upgraded in one batch. Release, bootstrap, install, and validation scripts also tighten file and argument handling. Release archives now derive top-level pigsty.yml from conf/meta.yml, include the Kafka/MySQL playbooks, and drop the legacy Mongo playbook.
• The release-signing workflow must be dispatched from main and signs only the pigsty-<tag>.tgz source archive; multi-gigabyte offline bundles are outside that workflow. The package-build bootstrap matrix now matches conf/build/oss.yml: EL 9/10, Debian 12/13, and Ubuntu 22/24/26.

Observability

• Re-exports the dashboard set through the Pig/Grafana tooling to Dashboard API v2. Adds four Kafka and five MySQL dashboards, and refreshes links, variables, and layouts across Node, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Infra dashboards.
• Migrates the MinIO/Silo Overview and Instance dashboards to Metrics V3. Victoria scrapes the /minio/metrics/v3 root endpoint and drops high-cardinality samples carrying a non-empty bucket label.
• Updates the pg_exporter configuration to 1.4.0 and fixes duplicate time series from the 1.4.1 pg_subrel query. For PG19 it adds pg_sub_19, pg_recovery_state, pg_wal_19, pg_lock_stat, and pg_vacuum_score; PG10+ gains the pg_xact_age transaction-age histogram, and replication-slot idle_timeout plus WAL Receiver connecting state encoding are covered. Kafka JMX/protocol exporters and the MySQL exporter also join the standard target and alert pipelines.

PostgreSQL Kernels and Extension Packages

• PostgreSQL 19 beta3 templates now include pgBackRest packages and backup support.

• All four standard Patroni templates add the PostgreSQL 18.6 logical-decoding allowlist output_plugin_libraries: 'pgoutput, test_decoding, wal2json'; Patroni filters it on older PostgreSQL versions that do not support the setting.

• Percona PostgreSQL 18 TDE now uses cluster mode and retains Pigsty-prefixed packages to avoid conflicts with native PostgreSQL packages.

• IvorySQL now initializes its default database correctly and enables compatible WAL compression in workload templates.

• The PostgreSQL fact loader, per-platform package_map, and default extension groups are refreshed to fill package gaps and correct PGDG/YUM naming. Comparing names between the v4.4.0 PIG v1.5.1 catalog and the current catalog yields 46 additions and 2 removals:

  • 32 new primary extensions: argm, cat_tools, cron_utils, fbsql, oidc_validator, online_advisor, pg_cjk_parser, pg_column_tetris, pg_describe, pg_disorder, pg_fts, pg_jieba, pg_kpart, pg_lake, pg_local_cache, pg_mentat, pg_oidc_validator, pg_policy, pg_roast, pg_tiktoken_c, pg_turbovec, pg_vault_tde, pgcontext, pgfr_record, pgmemento, pgmonitor, pgsqlmock, pgwasm, plruby, plx, postbis, and qdgc.
  • 13 child extensions from those package families: hstore_plruby, jsonb_plruby, ltree_plruby, pg_extension_base, pg_extension_updater, pg_lake_copy, pg_lake_engine, pg_lake_iceberg, pg_lake_table, pg_map, pgcontext_pgvector, pgfr_analyze, and qdgc_postgis.
  • One new PGDG extension, pg_statviz. Its package is hidden from the default install group, but the extension remains in the online catalog.
  • Two catalog removals: pg_analytics and spat. The total therefore rises from 531 to 575, a net gain of 44.

• Cumulative notable upgrades include citus 14.2.0, pg_search 0.25.2, timescaledb 2.29.1, vector 0.8.6, documentdb 0.114, pg_partman 5.5.0, pgmnemo 0.16.1, plpgsql_check 2.10.4, provsql 1.12.0, and pgbson 2.1.0, plus a broad pgrx 0.19.1 rebuild.

• Full build records and platform differences appear in the merged table below and the original RPM changelog and DEB changelog. New catalog entries include pg_local_cache and pg_policy. Changelog dates identify package batches and should not be equated one-for-one with the current CSV mtime.

• pg_statviz is excluded only from the default install group in db/reload.sql; its detail page, platform coverage, and package-name differences remain in the online catalog.

Extension Package Update Log

The table below merges the RPM changelog and DEB changelog after v4.4.0, with 231 rows aligned by batch and extension name. Records that are identical in RPM and DEB are merged; version or note differences are shown separately. An unchanged version still indicates a rebuild, package-name change, license-metadata change, or platform-coverage change.

The first extension batch after July 10 is July 24. That original batch covers July 7–24 without per-item dates, so it is included in full to avoid omitting post-release pgrx rebuilds and package-matrix fixes. “RPM only” or “DEB only” means only that the other changelog has no same-batch row for that extension.

Infrastructure Package Update Log

The following table contains all 144 Infra log records after v4.4.0, from 2026-07-16 through the latest 2026-08-12 batch. It also includes the ferretdb2 rebuild and RPM exporter package-name migration recorded in the changelog prose. Consecutive upgrades of the same package are retained as separate batch entries.

Build, download, and verification status follows the wording of the original log; it does not establish repository indexing, signing, synchronization, or offline-bundle acceptance. See the Infra changelog for full context.

Compatibility Changes and Upgrade Notes

• Existing FERRET deployments should remove the legacy ferretdb systemd service and redeploy the protocol layer with docker.yml and app.yml. The old mongo.yml playbook, mongo_* parameters, scrape job, and dedicated dashboard are no longer provided.
• Pigsty no longer renders /etc/default/haproxy for the HAProxy unit, although the unit can read it when present. Use only EXTRAOPTS for process arguments, not OPTIONS. Any EXTRAOPTS override must retain -S /run/haproxy-master.sock and must not include -f.
• New module playbooks require target hosts to define the corresponding pg_cluster, redis_cluster, minio_cluster, kafka_cluster, or mysql_cluster explicitly. Custom inventories that relied on fixed group names without cluster identity variables must add those identities first.
• The MINIO role now accepts only minio_type: silo; minio and rustfs fail during identity validation. Silo retains MinIO protocol and on-disk compatibility, but the package, binary, and systemd service names change. Back up existing object storage and validate in-place compatibility and rollback before upgrading; do not treat package replacement as a migration that has already passed acceptance.
• Valkey remains opt-in. redis_type: valkey installs valkey-server and valkey-cli, while configuration paths, service names, monitoring jobs, and other module-facing interfaces remain under redis for compatibility.
• Pigsty’s core REPO/CACHE roles require SOW and use sow create --pigsty to generate local repositories. Older offline bundles or local repositories without SOW 0.3.0 must first install or refresh it from the Pigsty INFRA repository. pig repo create is a separate CLI path whose fallback behavior depends on its own version.
• MySQL mysql_databases entries accept only name, encoding, and collate, and databases are created with DEFAULT ENCRYPTION='N'. mysql_parameters cannot use loose_, skip_, disable_, or enable_ prefixes to bypass platform-owned, replication, or TLS option protection.
• Custom RPM repositories and external automation that still reference underscore names such as node_exporter or redis_exporter must move to the hyphenated node-exporter and redis-exporter package names.
• docker/Makefile no longer accepts DATA to redirect the cleanup target. make purge deletes repository-local ./data immediately without a countdown; preserve any required data first.
• KAFKA and MYSQL remain pilot modules. Kafka clients must resolve and reach each broker directly rather than putting the data plane behind HAProxy, a VIP, or an L4 load balancer. MySQL currently accepts exactly one or three members.

All 14 validated offline artifacts are published on GitHub for this release, one per recommended OS version and architecture, alongside a checksums manifest and a detached PGP signature (.asc) for every file.

2 - Pigsty v4.4.0

Pigsty v4.4.0 is a maintenance release centered on PostgreSQL 18.4, PostgreSQL 19 beta readiness, 531 extensions, refreshed kernel variants, and broader platform coverage.

Released on 2026-07-10. See the GitHub release and all changes since v4.3.0.

Highlights

• PostgreSQL 18.4 / 19 beta: PostgreSQL 18.4 is now the production default, with a minimal PostgreSQL 19 beta template for evaluation.
• 531 extensions and refreshed kernels: The catalog adds 21 extensions and updates major PostgreSQL variants across the supported platform matrix.
• Safer operations with Pig 1.5.1: New clone, fork, and PITR workflows arrive alongside automatic VIP discovery, Zstandard pgBackRest compression, and dedicated Patroni log collection.
• Security, applications, and tooling: Secret handling and repository automation are hardened, with new app templates, a redesigned portal, and optional Codex support.
• Platform validation: All 14 offline deployment tests pass across seven OS baselines on both x86_64 and aarch64.
• Offline artifacts: The Community Edition publishes six dual-architecture offline packages for Debian 13, EL 10, and Ubuntu 24.04 on GitHub. Prebuilt packages for the other validated baselines are available with the Professional Edition.

Upgrade Notes

• Generated pgBackRest configurations now use compress-type=zst; preserve intentional local overrides before re-rendering them. #744
• Patroni logs now use /pg/log/patroni and job=patroni; update custom log queries and alert rules that use the old syslog selector.
• VIP interfaces now default to auto, dnsmasq records move to /etc/dnsmasq.d/pigsty, and Pigsty manages /etc/default/haproxy; preserve explicit network overrides where needed.
• The default etcd backend quota drops from 16 GiB to 8 GiB; check existing backend usage before applying the new configuration.
• pig automation must use -y/--yes for destructive commands, while pig pb restore and pig pitr require one explicit recovery target. See the pig v1.5 notes.
• Supabase analytics moves to the _supabase database and _analytics schema; existing deployments should create them before switching stacks.

Security and Operations

• The pg-pitr wrapper adds safer target selection, timelines, dry runs, and stronger checks against unsafe recovery targets.
• Application secrets are hidden from Ansible output, generated .env files use mode 0600, and Grafana no longer prints the administrator password.
• The dbsu sudo policy gains controlled journal access, while the repository adds a security policy, CodeQL, Dependabot, pinned actions, and release-signing automation.

Applications and Tooling

• Added Immich, Maybe, and JumpServer templates; refreshed Supabase, Dify, InsForge, Registry, Jupyter, Kong, Odoo, Teable, Mattermost, and related launch helpers.
• Rebuilt the bilingual infrastructure portal and added opt-in Codex CLI support to the experimental VIBE module; Claude Code remains its default managed coding agent.
• Removed the legacy FerretDB Compose template; the FERRET module remains available.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed EL10 PostgreSQL/libpq provider conflicts, EPEL path handling, and PGDG minor-version repository rules. #752
• Reused an existing /www directory during bootstrap and fixed Redis Sentinel HA password rendering. #753 #748
• Corrected RPM naming and package groups for pg_http, pg_gzip, apache-age, and odbc_fdw. #750
• Prevented unexpected service starts during Debian and Ubuntu package installation, and improved EL9 aarch64 Patroni package handling.
• Fixed VirtualBox private-network routing and default NIC selection.
• Fixed shell portability and Vector log lifecycle issues, along with PG19 io_workers, Teable HBA, and application runtime defaults.

5 - Pigsty v4.2.1

A maintenance release that adds 3 new extensions.

Major Changes

• New Extensions: pg_eviltransform is added to the GIS package group, pg_pinyin to the FTS group, and pg_qos to the admin group — all for PG 14–18.
• PG13 Removed: All pgdg13, pgdg13-nonfree repo entries and PG13 package aliases (pg13-*) are removed from every platform variant (EL7/8/9/10, Debian 12/13, Ubuntu 22/24/26, both x86_64 and aarch64).
• Config templates (fat.yml, pro.yml, dev.yml, el.yml, debian.yml) no longer reference PG13 packages or repos. Extension version comments are updated to reflect PG 14–18 coverage only.
• Percona Repo: Origin URL updated from ppg-18.1 to ppg-18.3 to track the latest Percona PostgreSQL distribution.
• Nginx Repo: Module tag for the Nginx upstream APT repo corrected from infra to nginx on Debian/Ubuntu platforms.
• UV Venv Fix: roles/node/tasks/pkg.yml now checks for an existing virtualenv before running uv venv, preventing redundant re-creation and potential errors on re-provisioning.
• Docker Image: less is added to the Pigsty Docker image base packages.
• Demo Config: Default firewall rules in el.yml and debian.yml demo configs now include port 5432 for direct PostgreSQL access.

Compatibility Notes

PostgreSQL 13 reached its end of life on 2025-11-13. The PGDG YUM repository has archived and removed the pg13 / pg12 directories. If you install Pigsty on EL systems (even without using PG 13), repo access failures may cause installation or update errors.

You can either upgrade directly to Pigsty v4.2.1, or manually edit the repo_upstream_default variable in your corresponding OS file under roles/node_id/vars/ and remove the pg13 repo line.

Additionally, EL8 remains in the Pigsty compatible OS list, but starting from this release, offline packages for EL8 will no longer be published.

No other breaking API or configuration changes in this release.

6 - Pigsty v4.2.0

Highlights

• Aligned with PostgreSQL out-of-band minor updates: 18.3, 17.9, 16.13, 15.17, 14.22.
• Total PostgreSQL extension coverage reaches 461 packages.
• Kernel updates across Babelfish, AgensGraph, pgEdge, OriolePG, OpenHalo, and Cloudberry.
• Babelfish template now uses a Pigsty-maintained PG17-compatible build, with no WiltonDB repo dependency.
• Supabase images and self-hosted templates are refreshed to the latest stack, using Pigsty-maintained pgsty/minio.

Major Changes

• mssql now defaults to Babelfish PG17 (pg_version: 17, pg_packages: [babelfish, pgsql-common, sqlcmd]) and no longer requires an extra mssql repo.
• Kernel install paths are normalized in pg_home_map: mssql -> /usr/babelfish-$v/, gpsql -> /usr/local/cloudberry.
• package_map adds a dedicated cloudberry mapping and fixes babelfish* aliases to versioned RPM/DEB package names.
• Redis data root default changes from /data to /data/redis; deployment blocks legacy defaults, while redis_remove keeps backward-compatible cleanup.
• configure now supports absolute -o output paths with auto-created parent directories, tri-state region detection (CN/global/offline fallback), and a fix for behind_gfw() hangs.
• Debian/Ubuntu default repo URL mappings (updates/backports/security) and China mirror components are corrected to prevent bootstrap package failures.
• Supabase stack is updated (including PostgREST 14.5 and Vector 0.53.0) and now includes missing S3 protocol credential variables.
• Rich/Sample templates explicitly define dbuser_meta defaults; node.sh systemd completion is simplified.
• pgbackrest stanza initialization now retries (2 attempts, 5-second interval) to reduce lock contention with archive-push.
• Vibe template now ships @anthropic-ai/claude-code, @openai/codex, and happy-coder, and includes age in the default example.

PG Software Updates

• PostgreSQL 18.3, 17.9, 16.13, 15.17, 14.22
• RPM Changelog 2026-02-27
• DEB Changelog 2026-02-27
• Core upgrades: timescaledb 2.25.0 -> 2.25.1, citus 14.0.0-3 -> 14.0.0-4, pg_search -> 0.21.9
• New/rebuilt: pgedge 17.9, spock 5.0.5, lolor 1.2.2, snowflake 2.4, babelfish 5.5.0, cloudberry 2.0.0
• Kernel-side updates: oriolepg 17.11 -> 17.16, orioledb beta12 -> beta14, openhalo 14.10 -> 1.0(14.18)

Infrastructure Software Updates

API Changes

• pg_mode now includes agens and pgedge.
• mssql defaults are updated to pg_version: 17 and pg_packages: [babelfish, pgsql-common, sqlcmd].
• Kernel/package alias mappings are updated in pg_home_map and package_map (Babelfish, OpenHalo, IvorySQL, Cloudberry, pgEdge family).
• redis_fs_main now defaults to /data/redis, with deployment guardrails and backward-compatible cleanup behavior.
• configure output path handling and region detection logic are updated, with offline fallback warnings and unified SSH probe timeouts.
• grafana.ini.j2 is updated for Grafana 12.4 config changes and deprecations.

Compatibility Notes

• If existing Redis configs still use redis_fs_main: /data, migrate to /data/redis before deployment.
• Grafana 12.4 changes data link merge behavior. This release moves key links into field overrides; review custom dashboards accordingly.

curl https://pigsty.io/get | bash -s v4.1.0

72 commits, 252 files changed, +5,744 / -5,015 lines (v4.0.0..v4.1.0, 2026-02-02 ~ 2026-02-13)

• pig moved from a traditional script interface to an Agent-Native CLI (1.0.0 -> 1.1.0), with explicit context and JSON/YAML output.
• pig now provides unified major/minor upgrade workflows for PostgreSQL and OS lifecycle updates.
• pg_exporter upgraded to v1.2.0 (1.1.2 -> 1.2.0), with PG17/18 metric pipeline and unit fixes.
• Default firewall security policy updated: node_firewall_mode now defaults to zone, and node_firewall_public_port default changed from [22,80,443,5432] to [22,80,443].
• Focused PGSQL/PGCAT Grafana usability fixes: dynamic datasource $dsn, schema-level drilldown, age metrics, link mapping consistency.
• Added one-click Mattermost application template, including database/storage/portal and optional PGFS/JuiceFS options.
• Refactored infra-rm uninstall flow with segmented deregister cleanup for Victoria targets, Grafana datasources, and Vector logs.
• Optimized default PostgreSQL autovacuum thresholds to reduce excessive vacuum/analyze on small tables.
• Fixed FD limit chain: added fs.nr_open=8M and unified LimitNOFILE=8M to avoid startup failures from systemd/setrlimit.
• Updated VIBE defaults: Jupyter disabled by default; Claude Code managed via npm package.

INFRA Component Versions

Infra Changelog 2026-02-12

API Changes

• Corrected template guard for io_method / io_workers from pg_version >= 17 to pg_version >= 18.
• Fixed PG18 guards for idle_replication_slot_timeout / initdb --no-data-checksums.
• Broadened maintenance_io_concurrency effective range to PG13+.
• Raised autovacuum_vacuum_threshold: oltp/crit/tiny from 50 to 500, olap to 1000.
• Raised autovacuum_analyze_threshold: oltp/crit/tiny from 50 to 250, olap to 500.
• Increased default checkpoint_completion_target from 0.90 to 0.95.
• Added fs.nr_open=8388608 in node tuned templates and aligned fs.file-max / fs.nr_open / LimitNOFILE.
• Changed postgres/patroni/minio systemd LimitNOFILE from 16777216 to 8388608.
• Added fs.nr_open: 8388608 into default node_sysctl_params.
• Changed node_firewall_mode default from none to zone: firewall enabled by default, intranet trusted, and only node_firewall_public_port exposed publicly; set none for fully self-managed firewall.
• Changed node_firewall_public_port default from [22,80,443,5432] to [22,80,443]; add 5432 explicitly only when public DB access is required. Firewall rules are add-only, so existing nodes that already exposed 5432 must remove it manually. Single-node experience templates (such as meta / vibe) explicitly override and keep 5432 for remote usage.
• Added bin/validate checks for pg_databases[*].parameters and pg_hba_rules[*].order; fixed HBA validation not returning failure properly.
• Added segmented tags in infra-rm.yml: deregister, config, env, etc.
• Updated VIBE defaults: jupyter_enabled=false, npm_packages include @anthropic-ai/claude-code and happy-coder, plus CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1.
• PgBouncer alias cleanup: pool_size_reserve -> pool_reserve, pool_max_db_conn -> pool_connlimit.

Compatibility Fixes (Deduplicated)

• Note: repeated regressions/re-fixes of the same issue are counted once and merged by problem domain below.
• Fixed Redis replicaof empty-guard logic and systemd stop behavior.
• Fixed schema/table/sequence qualification, identifier quoting, and logging format safety in pg_migration.
• Fixed restart targets and variable usage in pgsql role handlers.
• Fixed blackbox config filename cleanup item and pgAdmin pgpass file format.
• Made pg_exporter startup non-blocking to avoid slowing main flow when exporter fails.
• Simplified VIP CIDR parsing: default mask 24 when omitted.
• Increased MinIO health-check retries from 3 to 5.
• Switched node hostname setup to Ansible hostname module instead of shell calls.
• Fixed .env format for app/electric and app/pg_exporter to standard KEY=VALUE.
• Fixed pg_crontab syntax error in pigsty.yml.
• Updated ETCD docs to clarify default TLS vs optional mTLS semantics.
• Fixed repo-add argument passing, Debian CN mirror component compatibility, and bin/psql.py Python 3 compatibility.
• Hardened redis-exporter credential file permissions.
• pgsql-user.yml now masks credential logs (no_log) on sensitive steps.
• Fixed gate conditions when pg_monitor registers Victoria targets.
• Changed pg_remove backup cleanup to cluster-level directory to avoid deleting other cluster backups.
