Build Status Last Commit sysvipc Required

PostgreSQL on FreeBSD, compatible with the CloudNativePG Kubernetes operator. Includes pgvector, pgaudit, and pg_failover_slots.

Requires ocijail with annotation support (≥ 0.6.0)

This image needs the jail permission allow.sysvipc, applied via OCI annotations. FreeBSD quarterly ships ocijail 0.4.0, which has no annotation support — the container starts but the permission is silently dropped, so the app can crash or misbehave. Point your pkg repos at the latest branch (ocijail ≥ 0.6.0) and run with the annotation flag shown below. See the ocijail guide.
