Other related projects: * PGXN ( https://pgxn.org/ - the original Postgres community extension repository, though more "old school") * Trunk by Tembo ( https://github.com/tembo-io/trunk - very similar to pgxman, but using the more liberal Postgres BSD-style license) Additionally its important to mention that many popular extensions are already packaged as part of the Postgres YUM and Apt repositories ( https://wiki.p…

Also database.dev, specifically for Trusted Language Extensions:

I'm not sure what is `npm` your meaning, is it https://www.npmjs.com/ ? Is pgxman an extension manager for Postgres like apt for Debian?

Yes, that's right- npm was in reference to npmjs.com. The analogy was made since pgxman handles version and dependency management, but for Postgres extensions.

Interesting - does it work with the existing postgres apt/yum repos? Does it work with the postgres Docker image? Can I: FROM postgres (...get pxman) pgxman install ...

> does it work with the existing postgres apt/yum repos?

We only support apt for now but plan to support other package managers in the future. It works with existing Postgres apt packages, we recommend using PGDG but the default system packages on Debian/Ubuntu work as well.

> Does it work with the postgres Docker image?

yes, in fact this how our `container` feature works. https://docs.pgxman.com/container

ooof, that render on the homepage consistently brings my Chrome browser to its knees.

Same on Brave, 700% CPU usage before I closed the page.

Dumb question but those any percent over 100 mean?

I know 100% is full cpu usage, but what does 700% mean?

It means that your cpu has 7x more work to do than it is capable of executing. 100% is a full load of a single core, 700% will be 7 cores working at 100% each.
