Draft: (Don't Merge) Install H3 extension - #365
Conversation
|
Out of curiosity, why not Debian 12? |
|
@jacopofar Because the base image postgis/postgis:16-3.4 uses Debian 11. I didn't want H3 in here strongly enough (yet) to go through the headache of rewriting the I would be willing to consider a PR changing the base Dockerfile to support this. If we go down that route I'd prefer Ubuntu over Debian just because I use it more and it's easier to manage packages. Curious back at ya -- Is there a use case you'd like to see supported with H3 baked into this image? |

No not really, I just got a notification about this PR and was curious :) I had a similar problem with old tzdata in Debian (docker-library/postgres#1046) used as a base image for Postgres. I'm not using H3 though so no idea about this use case |

Details
This adds the h3 extension into the Docker image. As it stands, I do not plan to merge this into
main. To install h3 via pgxn I needed a version ofcmakenewer than what is on Debian 11. Building a newer cmake from source is a huge slowdown to initialdocker build.I haven't tried going down the path of building the h3 extension from source. I suspect I will encounter the same minimum cmake version.
