How can I set more PGBACKREST parameters ?

[fguiet]

Hi again,

I do not understand how can I set more PGBACKREST parameters

like for instance PGBACKREST_repo1-retention-full=3

Moreover accorging to pgBackRest configuration I should see a warning if retention-full is not set

Full backup retention count/time.
When a full backup expires, all differential and incremental backups associated with the full backup will also expire. When the option is not defined a >warning will be issued. If indefinite retention is desired then set the option to the max value.

Env parameters seems to be fixed in the code lifecycle.go, only the following can be set

envPgbackrest := []corev1.EnvVar{
		{Name: "PGBACKREST_repo1-path", Value: pluginConfig.S3RepoPath},
		{Name: "PGBACKREST_repo1-s3-bucket", Value: pluginConfig.S3Bucket},
		{Name: "PGBACKREST_repo1-s3-endpoint", Value: pluginConfig.S3Endpoint},
		{Name: "PGBACKREST_repo1-s3-region", Value: pluginConfig.S3Region},
		{Name: "PGBACKREST_stanza", Value: pluginConfig.S3Stanza},
	}

Thank You

I think you can set additional env vars in the container and it picks it up from there: https://github.com/dalibo/cnpg-plugin-pgbackrest/blob/main/internal/operator/lifecycle.go#L166-L184

Hi @fguiet,

Sorry for the late reply. The 'first' untagged version was more of a proof of concept than a fully functional plugin ready for production. So we focused on trying to make pgbackrest work with a sidecar container and a limited number of parameters.

We now want to continue working on that project and rely on and benefit from the pgbackrest functionality as much as possible. For example, we use the pgbackrest native asynchronous functionality for parallelism.

More options and way to customize pgBackRest will be added soon.
