Adding pgAgent

[ploef]

Hi,

What would be the best way to add pgAgent to this image?

Kind regards,
Peter

For just the SQL extension: create a PR that adds the pgagent debian package. It's already packaged and should just work. It's small enough and doesn't include many dependencies that I'd have zero problem approving that.

For the daemon: It's included in the pgagent package, but as it is a stand-alone daemon that just connects to the database, and would be more suited for a separate deployment rather than running another daemon inside a -ha container. Containers are generally supposed to have only a single thing running in them.

Since that binary would be available in -ha after adding the debian package though, you could run this image and replace the docker entrypoint/cmd with running the pgagent daemon with the appropriate arguments, but this is a huge image to run something so small :)

Thanks for the detailed answer. It certainly helped to choose the right direction. The PR has been created 😄 .
