Re: pgBackrest for RHEL 9

[Ron Johnson <ronljohnsonjr@xxxxxxxxx>]

I occasionally have to install packages from EPEL, and manually download them from:

https://rhel.pkgs.org/9/epel-x86_64/

Iibssh2 is in epel, which should work unless you aren’t allowed to use it.

Although pgBackrest is present in the RHEL9 repository, during installation it searches for the libssh2 library, which is not included in RHEL9.

Greetings Community Members,

I'm curious if pgBackrest is compatible with RHEL9. It appears that pgBackrest relies on the libssh2 library, which has been eliminated from the RHEL 9 repository.

How do you install Postgresql and PgBackrest?  Because it's in https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/common/redhat/rhel-9-x86_64/, so must somehow be compatible.
