In this case the homelab offers both scenarios: protecting the Linux CentOS VM within the Hypervisor or simply installing the Veeam Agent. Typically, this scenario is used for both Physical Servers and Cloud Instances. Effectively the protection is operated by the Veeam Agent for Linux working in “Managed Mode”. The scenario visits the ability to include the PostgreSQL Server into a Veeam Protection Group. Separate articles will be dedicated on how to provide protection including a file and crash consistent backup.

The idea to install PostgreSQL on Linux CentOS 7 goes together with option to explore the configurations on how to protect both the server environment and also the PostgreSQL application with its databases. This one will serve the pgAdmin install and provides a web based GUI to graphically manage the PostgreSQL Server. A third application that will be installed and configured is Apache or httpd daemon. The configuration for both applications will use the command line or bash shell. Whereas the pgAdmin tool will be installed using the built-in Software Manager in the GNOME Desktop. This article shows the process to install PostgreSQL using the command line. Also in this case pgAdmin is available for multiple platforms.

From Database Server level to the manipulation of all database objects. A powerful tool that provides full management capabilities for all PostgreSQL aspects. Complementary to the PostgreSQL deployment also the pgAdmin install. The purpose of this article is to show the simple steps on how to install PostgreSQL on a Linux CentOS 7 virtual machine running on VMware vSphere.

The same VMware VCSA uses PostgreSQL as the embedded database option for the vCenter appliance. PostgreSQL is one of the most powerful and popular open source databases that built its reputation on architecture, features and the ability pretty much to run on a wide range of operating systems.
