Have an idea to improve PGO? We'd love to hear it! We're going to need some information from you to learn more about your feature requests.
Please be sure you've done the following:
Overview
Add VectorChord (vchord) and pgvector extensions to Crunchy Postgres images for vector similarity search.
Use Case
Applications like Immich (self-hosted photo management) require VectorChord for AI-powered search and facial recognition. Currently, users must build and maintain custom images to add these extensions, which adds operational overhead and makes it harder to stay up-to-date with Crunchy image releases.
VectorChord is the successor to pgvecto.rs (now deprecated) and is becoming a standard requirement for AI/ML workloads.
Desired Behavior
Provide images with VectorChord pre-installed, similar to how PostGIS images are offered:
https://docs.crunchybridge.com/extensions-and-languages
The image should include:
- pgvector (>= 0.7.0) — required dependency
- VectorChord (vchord)
Users could then configure it via:
spec:
image: registry.developers.crunchydata.com/crunchydata/crunchy-postgres-vchord:ubi9-17.x-x
config:
parameters:
shared_preload_libraries: "vchord"
