Choose version of postgresql

Support
1

Hello!

I have looked and haven't found a way but I ask anyway. :slight_smile:

Is there a way to choose which version of PostgreSQL to use?

On my ubuntu 16.04 I have access to version 9.5 but I need 9.6. (puppetdb 5
needs it)

If I hack the globals.pp file and install the postgresql-repo I can use it
but that sure isn't user friendly. :slight_smile:

It would be nice if there was a switch I could use instead for those few
times the automatics choose the wrong version.

postgresql::globals::manage_package_repo: true
postgresql::globals::version: '9.6’
postgresql::repo::baseurl: ‘http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/’

Thanks for the information. I completely missed this little hidden gem.
