maas-test-db

maas-test-db is an open-source package for Linux that supplies the PostgreSQL server used by MAAS during testing. Its purpose is to support MAAS snap users who need a database component for straightforward test deployments. The package is intended for evaluating or testing MAAS rather than for operating a production database system. Its role is limited to this testing use and does not include a stated focus on additional database services or production administration.

The package can be used when a Linux test setup needs PostgreSQL but is not being prepared as a production environment. It is not meant to be upgraded, which is relevant when considering how it fits into a test deployment. Users should not use maas-test-db for production purposes. Its focused purpose makes it a specialized component for MAAS testing rather than a general-purpose database package.

In MirrorNest, maas-test-db is listed in the Internet & Browsers category for the Linux platform. MirrorNest mirrors the official build directly onto its own storage for distribution through the catalog. Each mirrored build is scanned for malware before it is published.
