Installing Control Plane
The Control Plane simplifies deployment of high-availability Postgres clusters in an easy-to-manage environment, running on bare metal, in VMs, or in the cloud.
Choosing a Deployment Method
The Control Plane supports two orchestration models. Pick the one that fits your infrastructure:
| systemd | Docker Swarm | |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | Control Plane and Postgres run as native Linux services | Control Plane and Postgres run as Docker containers |
| Best for | Bare metal or VMs without Docker | Container-based infrastructure |
| Package format | RPM or Deb system packages | Docker image |
Installation Guides
-
The Quickstart guide deploys a three-node distributed Postgres database on your local host — the fastest way to try out Control Plane.
-
Installing via System Packages covers installing the Control Plane as a native Linux service using RPM or Deb packages.
-
Installing via Docker Swarm covers deploying the Control Plane as Docker containers across a set of hosts.
