It currently\nmanages single-node Linux PostgreSQL servers and appliances.\n\nThe main components are:\n\n* PostgreSQL - \u003chttps://www.postgresql.org/\u003e\n* OmniDB - \u003chttps://omnidb.org/\u003e\n* postgresql-common - \u003chttps://salsa.debian.org/postgresql/postgresql-common\u003e\n* pgBadger - \u003chttp://dalibo.github.io/pgbadger/\u003e\n* pgBackRest - \u003chttp://www.pgbackrest.org/\u003e\n* Grafana - \u003chttps://grafana.com/\u003e\n* Prometheus - \u003chttps://prometheus.io/\u003e\n* Cockpit - \u003chttp://cockpit-project.org/\u003e\n* Shell In A Box - \u003chttps://github.com/shellinabox/shellinabox\u003e\n* tmate - \u003chttps://tmate.io/\u003e\n\nAll PostgreSQL versions are supported via \u003chttps://apt.postgresql.org\u003e.\n\nSupported distributions:\n\n* Debian Trixie (13)\n* Debian Bookworm (12)\n* Ubuntu Noble (24.04)\n* Ubuntu Jammy (22.04)\n\n# Download\n\nPackages, Vagrant boxes, images: \u003chttps://elephant-shed.io/#download\u003e\n\n# Documentation\n\nThe documentation is located at \u003chttps://elephant-shed.io/doc/\u003e\n\n# Screenshots\n\n## Portal\n\nThe main portal webpage has links to all bundled applications. It also shows\nthe PostgreSQL status, and allows starting/stopping the clusters, backup, and\nlog reports.\n\n![Figure: Elephant Shed portal](images/el-portal.png)\n\n## Cockpit\n\nFor managing clusters and services, Cockpit is used.\n\n![Figure: Cockpit Cluster Service](images/cockpit_postgresql_service.png)\n\n## Monitoring - Prometheus\n\nPrometheus is a metric based monitoring system for servers and services. It\ncollects metrics from configured targets at given intervals, evaluates rule\nexpressions, displays the results, and can trigger alerts if some condition is\nobserved to be true.\n\n![Figure: Prometheus graphing the load](images/prometheus-load.png)\n\n## Monitoring - Grafana\n\nGrafana bundles metrics collected by Prometheus and presents them in a dashboard.\n\n![Figure: Grafana - PostgreSQL Server Overview](images/grafana-overview.png)\n\n## DBA Tool - OmniDB\n\nOmniDB is a management tool for PostgreSQL to help DBAs execute many different tasks.\nIt provides user management, DDL functionality, an interactive SQL shell, and more.\n\n![Figure: OmniDB](images/omnidb.png)\n\n## Backup - pgBackRest\n\nThe Elephant Shed comes with a preinstalled backup solution, *pgBackRest*.\n\n![Figure: pgBackRest Backup via Cockpit](images/el-backrest-start.png)\n\n## Reporting - pgBadger\n\nA pgBadger report is created for each PostgreSQL instance.\n\n![Figure: pgBadger overview](images/pgbadger-overview.png)\n\n## Web Terminal - Shell In A Box\n\nShell In A Box is a convenient web based terminal.\n\n## Remote Control - tmate\n\ntmate is a fork of the popular terminal multiplexer tmux, tweaked for instant\nterminal sharing. It is preconfigured to connect to a relay server and enables\nthe user to share the current terminal with a third party using a secret token.\n\n![Figure: tmate](images/tmate.png)\n\n# License\n\nThe Elephant Shed itself is licensed under the GPLv3 (\u003chttps://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html\u003e).\n\nAll bundled components are Free/Open-Source software with a known and approved open source license.\n\n# Support\n\n* Documentation: \u003chttps://elephant-shed.io/doc/\u003e\n* Web-Chat: [#elephant-shed](https://webchat.oftc.net/?nick=web-user-.\u0026channels=elephant-shed\u0026uio=MT11bmRlZmluZWQmMj10cnVlJjk9dHJ1ZSYxMT0yMzY31)\n* IRC [#elephant-shed](https://webchat.oftc.net/?channels=elephant-shed\u0026uio=MT11bmRlZmluZWQmMj10cnVlJjk9dHJ1ZSYxMT0yMzY31\n) on [irc.oftc.net](https://www.oftc.net/)\n\nElephant Shed is an open source project, developed and maintained by credativ.\n\nFor the Elephant Shed PostgreSQL appliance, credativ offers comprehensive\ntechnical support with service level agreements, which are also available\non 365 days a year and 24 hours a day as an option.\n\nInstallation and integration support, as well as an introduction\nin Elephant Shed PostgreSQL appliance is of course also part of\ncredativ's services.
