Hi @hughcapet,

Would it be possible to build and push the container image based on this commit?

Here is the related issue for reference: zalando/spilo#1065

[hughcapet]

It is already built and pushed
https://github.com/zalando/spilo/pkgs/container/spilo-17

Thanks for the feedback!

I noticed that the available builds are based on Patroni v4, which introduces breaking changes. The updated version doesn't seem mature enough yet, based on pull counters for Spilo container images:
spilo-17 : 634 pulls
spilo-16 : 37,782 pulls

The usage difference demonstrates that Spilo 16, which incorporates Patroni v3, is currently far more popular and well-established in production settings. Maintaining a container image with Patroni v3.3.4, which includes important reliability fixes, would still be highly valuable for the community.

Thank you for considering this request!

Current minor Patroni v4 release is mature enough. I can tell this as a maintainer and a user :)
Number of pulls only tells that spilo-17 is very new

spilo is just a dockerfile, highly customizable dockerfile. Image is built only for your convenience. We only maintain code — you can always build image yourself.
