PostgreSQL is a powerful, open source object-relational database system. It has more than 15 years of active development and a proven architecture that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, data integrity, and correctness. This snap provides the postgresql binaries and libraries for creating and managing postgres clusters from other snaps. This snap supplants the need for the host to have a running postgresql instance on Classic systems, and provides an automatable way to deploy postgres clusters on Ubuntu Core. If another snap is going to create its own cluster, it should refrain from using port 5432 as that is the port used by the postgresql server run by this snap. This is not an official postgresql snap. ### Package name * dilyn-postgresql --- ### License * CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0 AND BSD-3-Clause AND GPL-3.0-or-later --- ### Last updated * 4 August 2026 - latest/stable * 4 August 2026 - latest/candidate --- ### Websites * [postgresql.org](https://postgresql.org "https://postgresql.org") --- ### Contact * [dilyn.corner@tutanota.com](mailto:dilyn.corner@tutanota.com "mailto:dilyn.corner@tutanota.com") --- ### Source code * [github.com/dilyn-corner/core-nas/tree/22/postgresql](https://github.com/dilyn-corner/core-nas/tree/22/postgresql "https://github.com/dilyn-corner/core-nas/tree/22/postgresql") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/dilyn-corner/core-nas/issues](https://github.com/dilyn-corner/core-nas/issues "https://github.com/dilyn-corner/core-nas/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/dilyn-postgresql/rhel#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and install dilyn-postgresql Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snap is available for [Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8](https://www.redhat.com/en/enterprise-linux-8) and RHEL 7, from the 7.6 release onward. The packages for RHEL 7, RHEL 8, and RHEL 9 are in each distribution’s respective [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The instructions for adding this repository diverge slightly between RHEL 7, RHEL 8 and RHEL 9, which is why they’re listed separately below. The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 9** with the following command: ``` sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm sudo dnf upgrade ``` The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 8** with the following command: ``` sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm sudo dnf upgrade ``` The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 7** with the following command: ``` sudo rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm ``` Adding the *optional* and *extras* repositories is also recommended: ``` sudo subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms" sudo yum update ``` Snap can now be installed as follows: ``` sudo yum install snapd ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again or restart your system to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install dilyn-postgresql To install dilyn-postgresql, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install dilyn-postgresql ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
