Patroni Environment Setup

Patroni Environment Setup (PES) is a graphical installer for Patroni on Windows which makes it easy to deploy Patroni High Availability.

While there are many different High Availability approaches out there, Patroni is currently one of the most widely-used solutions. Installing Patroni on Linux is pretty simple, but installing it on Microsoft operating systems is still an issue. There are simply too many parts that have to be in place to run Patroni – and many people have found it hard to deploy. We have decided to release our own solution: PES makes the deployment of Patroni on Windows easy, fast and user-friendly.

Enhanced components of Windows

PES supplements Patroni with enhanced components not available on Windows. It comes with everything you need to start your cluster. It is made with autonomy in mind, so that you can even use it without an active internet connection. Each release contains the latest supported versions of packages:

• PYTHON installer
• PATRONI with all dependent packages
• ETCD as a distributed consensus store
• WINSW as a Windows service wrapper for cluster binaries
• POSTGRESQL binaries
• VIPMANAGER for virtual IP managing
• MICRO text editor to be used with patroni_ctl utility

PES is a highly customizable package. You don’t have to use all of its components if your cluster architecture doesn’t need them. For example, you may skip vipmanager usage if you prefer another routing and/or proxy solution.

It is easy to replace or add components, because PES is Open Source. For example, you may replace PostgreSQL binaries with another version, or even with a custom build like PostgreSQL TDE.

Download

PES is Open Source and can be used freely by everyone. You can download it from our GitHub page. As always, feedback is highly appreciated.
