Hello,

Im planning on running a postgresql server on my k3s cluster using the bitnami/postgresql helmchart & container image. I already set it up for testing and it works really well.

But since newer versions of immich are moving to VectorChord I would like to install this extention so i can move my immich database to this postgresql server.

I already tried to search how i should/could install an extention in the bitnami/postgresql image but I haven't found something usefull to me. Im not a postgresql expert so maybe i missed some stuff :).

Does someone have experience with this or know in which direction i should like i would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for your time and have a wonderfull day!

EDIT: Could someone explain me why im getting downvotes for this post? Is the way i wrote it not good? Is it a bad question? Is the software i mentioned unpopular?

If you are using Kubernetes, I highly recommend investing time into installing an operator. The best open source one with less restrictive licensing is cloudnative pg. VectorChord builds official images for CNPG that includes the extension.

Thanks for your response, could you explain what the advantages of an operator are in this example?

And what is the matter with the licensing? I never heard this issue before.

The link that you attached looks like it is for the pgvecto.rs extention instead of vectorchord.

Just to clarify, VectorChord is actually the company that makes pgvecto.rs (the postgres vector extension), so you're both talking about the same thing lol.
