Trunk

Trunk is an open source package manager and registry for PostgreSQL (Postgres) extensions:

• Visit pgt.dev to discover and learn more about the building blocks of this rich ecosystem
• Use the Trunk CLI (pg-trunk) to build, publish and install Postgres extensions of all kinds.

Trunk CLI

Installation

To get started, run the following commands to download and leverage cargo to install Trunk's CLI.

1. curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
2. cargo install pg-trunk

Usage

The Trunk CLI allows for building, publishing and installing Postgres extensions of all kinds. It abstracts away complexities of extension development and management with the following commands:

trunk build

Compile extensions of all kinds.

❯ trunk build
Building from path .
Detected that we are building a pgrx extension
Detected pgrx version range 0.7.4
Using pgrx version 0.7.4
Building pgrx extension at path .

Creating package at: ./.trunk/pgmq-0.5.0.tar.gz
Create Trunk bundle:
	pgmq.so
	extension/pgmq--0.5.0.sql
	extension/pgmq.control
	manifest.json
Packaged to ./.trunk/pgmq-0.5.0.tar.gz

trunk publish

Publish extensions to the registry, making them available to the Postgres community for discovery and installation.

❯ trunk publish pgmq \
--version 0.5.0 \
--description "Message Queue for postgres" \
--documentation "https://github.com/tembo-io/pgmq" \
--repository "https://github.com/tembo-io/pgmq" \
--license "Apache-2.0" \
--homepage "https://www.tembo.io"

trunk install

Downloads Postgres extensions from the Trunk registry and installs into your environment (only Ubuntu suppot at this time).

Supports nested dependencies, e.g. installing extension_a will automatically install extension_b if required.

❯ trunk install pgmq
Using pg_config: /usr/bin/pg_config
Using pkglibdir: "/usr/lib/postgresql/15/lib"
Using sharedir: "/usr/share/postgresql/15"
Downloading from: https://cdb-plat-use1-prod-pgtrunkio.s3.amazonaws.com/extensions/pgmq/pgmq-0.5.0.tar.gz
Dependencies: ["pg_partman"]
Installing pgmq 0.5.0
[+] pgmq.so => /usr/lib/postgresql/15/lib
[+] extension/pgmq--0.5.0.sql => /usr/share/postgresql/15
[+] extension/pgmq.control => /usr/share/postgresql/15

Trunk Registry - https://pgt.dev

The Trunk registry serves as a community hub for Postgres extensions of all kinds. The Trunk CLI installs extensions and their dependencies as compiled artifacts from this registry.

• Extension discovery and search
• Publish extensions for community use
• Install extensions in Postgres
• Usage metrics to provide insight into popular and well-maintained extensions
• Version tracking and new release email notifications
