inventory on PIG

pig v1.8.0

Fri, 14 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Pig v1.8.0 makes Pigsty controller setup native. The two core setup commands, pig sty boot and pig sty conf, are now failure-aware Go workflows instead of wrappers around the legacy bootstrap and configure shell scripts. The release keeps the public catalog total at 575 packaged PostgreSQL extensions and embeds Pigsty 4.5.0.

Native `pig sty boot`

pig sty boot is now one native, failure-aware controller bootstrap transaction. It does not execute <PIGSTY_HOME>/bootstrap, and its HTTP download and archive extraction paths do not depend on curl, wget, tar, or gzip.

Compile, Validate, Then Commit: The Native sty conf Pipeline

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Decision date: 2026-02-18; the production contract was finalized on 2026-08-14.
Status: Implemented and released in pig v1.8.0.
Current reference: pig sty conf
Scope: Generating one validated static Inventory from a trusted Pigsty template; not arbitrary YAML transformation.

Decision

pig sty conf should behave like a small compiler: resolve one safe template, parse it, apply a bounded set of structural mutations, validate the complete candidate, and atomically commit the output only after every required stage succeeds.

pig v1.6.0

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Pig v1.6.0 is a major release: pig pt becomes a transparent patronictl launcher, the new root-level pig inventory command group brings lossless editing and validation of pigsty.yml (with an experimental PostgreSQL CMDB bridge), pig sty grafana adds native Grafana dashboard management, and the packaged extension catalog grows to 562.

Highlights

pig pt is rewritten as a native patronictl passthrough: all cluster commands (list, restart, switchover, failover, edit-config, …) forward directly with native flags, prompts, output, and exit codes, so new patronictl features work without waiting for a pig release. Local helpers status, log, set, and service/svc remain, with new -c/--config-file, -d/--dcs-url, -k/--insecure options and a pig pt -- … escape hatch.
New root-level pig inventory command group (alias inv): status / list / show / edit / validate / check / diff — a lossless YAML engine that preserves comments, formatting, key order, and anchors byte-for-byte; edit validates before writing and writes atomically, so invalid YAML can never reach disk.
New experimental pig inventory cmdb subcommands (check / init / load / dump / enable / disable) exchange the inventory with the Pigsty CMDB in PostgreSQL over a native driver, with bounded timeouts and digest-pinned confirmation for destructive operations.
New pig sty grafana (alias gf) manages Grafana dashboards natively over HTTP: info / list / boot / load / init / dump / clean / lang / style. The pig sty surface is simplified: sty edit / validate / check / cmdb / dashboard / release are removed in favor of pig inventory, pig sty grafana, and pig sty list / get.
Reliability hardening: repo / catalog / download writes are atomic (no more truncated files on interrupt); structured -o json|yaml keeps stdout as a pure result envelope with wrapped-tool output on stderr; finer exit codes (usage errors → 2, missing --yes confirmation → 7); Ansible list variables are JSON-encoded.
Repository refresh: MySQL repos upgraded to 8.4 LTS, new Percona XtraBackup (pxb84) and MySQL Tools repos, Kubernetes v1.36, LLVM apt coverage for Debian/Ubuntu 26, Percona TDE sourced directly from repo.percona.com, wiltondb repo removed.
Toolchain: Go 1.26.5, new native PostgreSQL driver (pgx v5), embedded Pigsty version 4.4.0.

Extension Catalog

Packaged extensions: 531 -> 562; the broader PGEXT.CLOUD directory contains 2,230 entries.
33 new extensions, including the pg_lake family (pg_lake, pg_lake_table, pg_lake_engine, pg_lake_iceberg, pg_lake_copy), pg_jieba, pg_cjk_parser, pg_fts, pgmonitor, pgmemento, pg_tiktoken_c, online_advisor, pgsqlmock, and plx.
2 removed: pg_analytics, spat; 58 version refreshes, including vector 0.8.5, timescaledb 2.28.3, pg_search 0.24.3, pg_tde 2.2.1, and powa 5.2.0.
Package aliases synced with Pigsty: kafka is renamed to kafka-stack; the Debian/Ubuntu postgresql alias now maps to postgresql-$v only (use pgsql / pgsql-full for the full dev set).

Compatibility Notes

⚠ pig pt failover <name>: the positional argument is now the cluster, not the promotion candidate — use pig pt failover CLUSTER --candidate MEMBER and review any failover automation before upgrading.
pig pt positionals are native cluster-first (restart CLUSTER [MEMBER]); forwarded commands return native patronictl exit codes, own their confirmation prompts (-y no longer gates them), and no longer support -o json (use native --format json). pig pt config is replaced by pig pt set K=V and native show-config / edit-config.
In structured output mode, wrapped-tool output moves to stderr and stdout carries only the JSON/YAML envelope — update scripts that parsed mixed output.
pig inventory edit tightens the inventory file mode to 0600 after a successful edit, since the file may contain credentials.

v1.6.0 · 2026-07-28

Edit the Declaration, Preserve the Document: Lossless Pigsty Inventory

Sat, 18 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Decision date: 2026-07-18
Status: Implemented and released in pig v1.6.0.
Current reference: pig inventory
Scope: Static Pigsty Inventory inspection, scoped editing, validation, comparison, and safe writes.

Decision

PIG treats pigsty.yml as both a semantic declaration and a human-maintained source document. Semantic parsers determine what the Inventory means; the original bytes remain authoritative for how it is written. Scoped edits replace bounded source ranges and then reparse the complete candidate before an atomic write.

Use the CMDB Pigsty Already Has

Sat, 18 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Decision date: 2026-07-18
Status: The greenfield revision store is superseded; the thin existing-CMDB adapter is implemented and remains experimental.
Current reference: pig inventory cmdb
Scope: Exchanging declarations with Pigsty’s existing CMDB, not designing another configuration database.

Decision

PIG must reuse the CMDB already provided by Pigsty. Its responsibility is a bounded adapter: validate a static Inventory, load declarations into the existing tables, dump the existing projection, check consistency, and switch Ansible between the static and dynamic sources safely.

pig inventory

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The pig inventory command group (alias pig inv), introduced in v1.6.0, provides lossless inspection, editing, validation, and readiness checks for the Pigsty inventory (pigsty.yml), plus an experimental cmdb subtree that exchanges the inventory with the PostgreSQL CMDB.

The lossless engine preserves YAML comments, formatting, key order, anchors, and line endings byte-for-byte; edit re-parses the whole document before writing and writes atomically — invalid YAML can never reach disk.

Inspect, edit, validate, check, and exchange Pigsty Inventory

Usage:
  pig inventory [command]

Aliases:
  inventory, inv

Available Commands:
  check       Check Inventory, controller, and opt-in target readiness
  cmdb        Exchange Inventory with Pigsty's existing PostgreSQL CMDB (experimental)
  diff        Compare declarations without emitting Inventory values
  edit        Edit Inventory or one selected YAML fragment
  list        List ordered Inventory topology and value kinds
  show        Show verbatim Inventory YAML (may contain secrets)
  status      Inspect the active Inventory source without executing it
  validate    Validate one complete static Pigsty Inventory

Command	Alias	Description
`inv status`		Inspect the active inventory source (without executing)
`inv list`	`ls`	List inventory topology and value kinds (`--depth`)
`inv show`		Show verbatim inventory YAML (may contain secrets)
`inv edit`	`e`	Edit the inventory or one fragment in `$EDITOR`
`inv validate`	`v`	Validate one complete static Pigsty inventory
`inv check`	`ck`	Check inventory, controller, and target readiness
`inv diff`		Compare declarations of two inventories (value-free)
`inv cmdb`		Exchange with the PostgreSQL CMDB (experimental)

The inventory path comes from pig’s config resolution (the global -i/--inventory flag or the Pigsty home directory), and every command supports -o json|yaml structured output.
