• This is translated from my original Chinese post. I used Claude to polish the English — not a native speaker. Fair criticism on the LLM-ese; I'll tighten it.
• This fork exists because MinIO is a production dep in my PG distribution (Pigsty) and I needed working binaries + CVE patches. It's primarily for my own use; sharing it because others may have the same problem.
• We're deliberately conservative — no new features, just a drop-in replacement that behaves like the last OSS release with the console restored. Early commits will look thin.
Author here. The post here is a 3rd-party translation and may drifts from original wording in a few spots. Azure and OpenAI sent me some corrections today, so I published an updated English version myself here: https://pigsty.io/blog/db/openai-pg/
I've set up a supplementary APT/YUM repository, which builds on the official PGDG offerings. This includes 326 extensions for EL distros and 312 for Deb distros, encompassing 121 RPM packages and 133 DEB packages.
These packages support PG16 extensions across Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, EL8, and EL9. My efforts have been particularly focused on align OS-specific extensions across the major Linux distributions to ensure a consistent feature set.
Why not continue to use rpm/apt for building and packaging? You can reuse these packages in the Dockerfile and the image, but not the other way around.
