CNPG Postgres Operator cluster install

This is my config for how I deployed my postgres cluster using CNPG. This is a fairly barebones implementation seeing as all I wanted was the postgres instances that can survive a pod going down without the service going interrupted for a while. You should for sure read the docs to see all of the options you can customize

An operator mananges our instances. I didn’t customize the operator and just used all of the default settings

helm repo add cnpg https://cloudnative-pg.github.io/charts
helm repo update
helm upgrade --install cnpg --create-namespace cnpg-system cnpg/cloudnative-pg

Once the cluster is setup, all you need to do is deploy a cluster manifest

# Example of PostgreSQL cluster
apiVersion: postgresql.cnpg.io/v1
kind: Cluster
metadata:
  name: tds-postgresql
  namespace: default
spec:
  instances: 3
  imageName: ghcr.io/cloudnative-pg/postgresql:14
  storage:
    storageClass: nfs-client
    size: 10Gi
  monitoring:
    enablePodMonitor: true
  enableSuperuserAccess: true
  resources:
    requests:
      memory: "1Gi"
    limits:
      memory: "1Gi"

This will deploy a postgres cluster with 3 instances, one will be read-write, the other 2 read only. If the read-write instance goes down, the operator will promote one of 2 read only instances. This will also deploy postgres 14 and create an empty database named app. All of the credentials will be stored as a secret credential
