See Getting Started on how to get started with pgagroal.

See Configuration on how to configure pgagroal.

See Performance for a performance run.

Overview

pgagroal makes use of

  • Process model
  • Shared memory model across processes
  • libev for fast network interactions
  • Atomic operations are used to keep track of state
  • The PostgreSQL native protocol v3 for its communication

pgagroal will work with any PostgreSQL compliant driver, for example pgjdbc, Npgsql and pq.

See Architecture for the architecture of pgagroal.

Tested platforms

Compiling the source

pgagroal requires

On Rocky Linux (and similar) operating systems, the dependencies can be installed via dnf(8) as follows:

dnf install git gcc cmake make    \
            libev libev-devel     \
            openssl openssl-devel \
            systemd systemd-devel \
            python3-docutils      \
            libatomic \
            zlib zlib-devel \
            libzstd libzstd-devel \
            lz4 lz4-devel \
            bzip2 bzip2-devel

Please note that, on Rocky Linux, in order to install the python3-docutils package (that provides rst2man executable), you need to enable the crb repository:

dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb

Alternatively to GCC, clang 8+ can be used.

Release build

The following commands will install pgagroal in the /usr/local hierarchy and run the default configuration.

git clone https://github.com/agroal/pgagroal.git
cd pgagroal
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local ..
make
sudo make install
/usr/local/bin/pgagroal -c /usr/local/etc/pgagroal/pgagroal.conf -a /usr/local/etc/pgagroal/pgagroal_hba.conf

See RPM for how to build a RPM of pgagroal.

Debug build

The following commands will create a DEBUG version of pgagroal.

git clone https://github.com/agroal/pgagroal.git
cd pgagroal
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
make
cd src
cp ../../doc/etc/*.conf .
./pgagroal -c pgagroal.conf -a pgagroal_hba.conf

Remember to set the log_level configuration option to debug5.
