Proposal

Hello team

We've encountered a blocker while testing pg_tde integration with PostgreSQL in Kubernetes using the Percona PostgreSQL Operator.

It appears the crucial pg_tde utilities needed for pgBackRest integration were introduced in PostgreSQL version 17.5.3 and later from the Percona distribution. The relevant commit is: percona/postgres@415cb8d

As the current latest operator version is based on ppg17.5.2 (percona-postgresql-operator:2.7.0-ppg17.5.2-postgres), our pgBackRest testing is currently blocked.

Is there a timeline for when the operator will be updated to include Percona PostgreSQL 17.5.3 or a later version?

Thank you for your support.

Use-Case

The pg_tde command-line utilities (available in PPG 17.5.3+) is needed to ensure pgBackRest is able to correctly handle backups and restores of encrypted databases

Is this a feature you are interested in implementing yourself?

No

Anything else?
