Hey there team,
Looks like there is currently no installation method that will allow Timescale to run natively on Fedora 39 in Timescale license mode.
-
You can install timescale and postgres with the native fedora repos, however its not bundled with the community license so half of the features don’t get packaged. Additionally it seems like there is no documentation on how these
-
The Fedora instructions in the Timescale setup page simply don’t work. Once you’ve set up access to the repos etc. it cannot find a suitable deb. If you manually trawl through the repo and pull an rpm that looks semi-right it wont install.
-
When building from source it doesn’t link to the provided Postgres libs (installed from Fedora’s repos and used successfully elsewhere).
Obviously there will be workarounds to the above-- particularly number 3, however I’ve been digging into it for a couple of days now and given there is no clear pathway following the published Timescale instructions. I am by no means a Fedora expert and am running on a fresh install as I’m trialing daily driving a new machine. Additionally I’ve just discovered that an automatically closed ticket exists inside github issues roughly on this topic that was originally opened in 2020… kinda frustrating.
Any suggestions on the best next steps?
