How to package Postgress into a binary?

Question

PostgreSQL

I need to run my node.js + postgress application in the customer's infrastructure, it's easy to pack node.js into a binary, but what to do with the database in this case?

Answer 1

change postgres to sqlite
sqlite is a database inside a file, does not require administration and installation, very functional and fast enough
upd. on the topic, I had a case, quite ready for production, why not, I wrapped the finished installation of all the necessary utilities into a virtual machine image and transferred it

Answer 2

Customer admins must deploy postgres.

Answer 3

You can use Docker or Docker-compose
I would just include postgres in the requirement set

Answer 4

Create a dump and download it when you deploy. And in general, single installations are a bad (expensive) practice, wrapped in an installer
