June 2026 monthly summary for timescale/timescaledb-docker-ha. Key focus: TimescaleDB version management and compatibility across deployments with Docker-based HA images. Key features delivered: - TimescaleDB version management and compatibility updates: Upgraded the docker-ha image to TimescaleDB 2.27.2 to streamline deployments and reduce extension-related issues; updated the versions catalog to include TimescaleDB 2.27.1 to preserve support for PostgreSQL 15–18 and broader deployment scenarios. Major bugs fixed: - Addressed deployment fragility by removing 2.27.1 from the image and implementing a targeted hot-forge approach for the remaining 2.27.1 deployment to ensure extension files are present, preventing runtime issues. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Delivered a streamlined, compatible image set across 2.27.x series, enabling faster, safer deployments and broader deployment scenarios. Improved reliability for PostgreSQL 15–18 environments and reduced extension-related handoffs. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Docker image management and version governance, TimescaleDB upgrade processes, catalog/version compatibility maintenance, and release coordination via git commits (2903678ef5287b8620695e8c1a0556aff7548b31, 2bc3044ee28d896f194b09493afc260984b63468).

May 2026 highlights across core repos, focused on reliability improvements, upgrade experience, and CI/CD modernization for faster release cycles. Key deliverables: - TimescaleDB Docker HA installer: Expanded PostgreSQL minor version compatibility to 18.4, 17.10, 16.14, 15.18 and added a fallback path when latest packages are unavailable, simplifying upgrades and increasing installation reliability. - Tiger CLI: CI/CD modernization by migrating GitHub Actions workflows to Node 24, replacing deprecated versions and refreshing core actions (checkout, docker/setup-buildx-action, AWS credentials, ECR login) to enhance reliability and performance. Impact and accomplishments: - Reduced upgrade friction for users and lowered installation failures in production deployments. - Faster, more reliable CI pipelines with quicker feedback loops and fewer maintenance handoffs. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Node.js, GitHub Actions, Docker, PostgreSQL version management, build tooling, and automation scripting.
