# Switching to the Official Postgres Image

If you want to move from the Bitnami Postgres image to the official Postgres image, set:

```
components:
  database: false
  postgres: true
global:
  database:
    url: "jdbc:postgresql://{{ .component.prefix }}postgres:5432/{{ .this.database.name }}"
```

in the values file. This will instantiate the official Postgres image.
All values are identical.

You can also run both components side-by-side to perform migrations.

Make sure you set the database URL to the new DB when you are done.

# Migration Scenario

1. Add the postgres component

```
components:
  database: true
  postgres: true
```

2. Copy the database from the `database` component to the `postgres` component (single DB)

Because default-deny egress is enabled for the instance, allow temporary egress for the migration client:

```
kubectl apply -n lab -f - <<'EOF1'
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: NetworkPolicy
metadata:
  name: sample-postgres-allow-migration-egress
spec:
  podSelector:
    matchLabels:
      nplus/group: sample-postgres
      nplus/type: core
  policyTypes:
  - Egress
  egress:
  - to:
    - podSelector:
        matchLabels:
          nplus/group: sample-postgres
          nplus/type: database
  - to:
    - podSelector:
        matchLabels:
          nplus/group: sample-postgres
          nplus/type: postgres
EOF1
```

```
kubectl run -n lab pg-client --rm -i --image=postgres:17 \
  --labels nplus/group=sample-postgres,nplus/type=core -- \
  sh -c 'export PGPASSWORD=nscale; \
         pg_dump -h sample-postgres-database -U nscale -Fc nscale | \
         pg_restore -h sample-postgres-postgres -U nscale -d nscale --clean --if-exists'
```

Clean up the temporary egress rule:

```
kubectl delete -n lab networkpolicy sample-postgres-allow-migration-egress
```

3. Set nappl to use the new postgres component

```
global:
  database:
    url: "jdbc:postgresql://{{ .component.prefix }}postgres:5432/{{ .this.database.name }}"
```

4. Remove the old database component

```
components:
  database: false
  postgres: true
```
