Description

Please, answer some short questions which should help us to understand your problem / question better?

  • Which image of the operator are you using? registry.opensource.zalan.do/acid/postgres-operator:v1.6.2
  • Where do you run it - cloud or metal? Kubernetes or OpenShift? Bare Metal with rancher
  • Are you running Postgres Operator in production? yes
  • Type of issue? Feature request

The documentation for patroni parameters has a link to the full list. However, not all of them are supported.

In my case, I'd like to disable replication's sslmode as I'm using Zalando with Istio and is not needed. But patroni.postgresql.authentication is not defined in the manifest

My question is: would it be enough to just add this to the CRD definition or does Zalando not support for other reasons?

Research direction

Start with the cluster manifest's Patroni parameters documentation and compare its linked full Patroni settings list with the CRD definition. Trace how patroni.postgresql.authentication is handled by the operator, especially the requested replication sslmode setting. Done means the supported scope is established and the manifest, operator behavior, and documentation consistently reflect the result.
