Hi All, The AGE community is asking us to support more containers than just Docker, see https://github.com/apache/incubator-age/issues/24. Additionally, upon review of our Docker images they are in need of being updated.
The Docker images still refer to AgensGraph-Extension. This is due to these images being set up before our official acceptance to the Apache incubator and the official name change to Apache AGE (A Graph Extension). Furthermore, these images refer to the master branch of AGE, so these are pointing to development work instead of any official release. Personally, I believe that should be altered, but please let us know what you think. Moving on to the github issue: Some of our community is unable to use Docker and is requesting us to support LXC/Snap and/or Kata. For a brief summary of all these technologies, please refer to the links below. LXC: https://linuxcontainers.org/lxc/introduction/ Snap: https://snapcraft.io/about A forum discussing Snap: https://askubuntu.com/questions/808524/whats-the-main-difference-between-docker-and-snap Kata Official Site: https://katacontainers.io/ A Good Discussion on Kata: https://platform9.com/blog/kata-containers-docker-and-kubernetes-how-they-all-fit-together/ Personally, some of the questions I have on the subject before going forward on providing support for this is: AGE is an extension of Postgres, so should our containers include Postgres in them to avoid dependencies. Furthermore, would that affect users' ability to use other extensions, such as TimeScaleDB, in these environments? Thanks.
