This update changes the installation method for WAL-G by using a precompiled binary instead of building from the source. This significantly reduces installation time, as building from source is more time-consuming, while the binary allows for faster deployment.
Note
We are using a binary built for Ubuntu 20.04, but since WAL-G is written in Go, the binary is cross-platform and works well across various Linux distributions.
In addition, we are keeping the option for users to choose their preferred installation method (either binary or source build) by using the
wal_g_installation_methodvariable. This allows flexibility depending on specific needs or system requirements.Key changes:
