Description:
Adds support for the PostgreSQL storage backend, as well as fixes the
libspatialindex
primary branch name (it is nowmain
)Benefits of this PR and context:
The default backend, SQLite, performs well on smaller maps, but on servers where the map is quite large, it begins to slow down considerably. PostgreSQL is fully supported by Minetest, and offers the best performance in such cases.
How Has This Been Tested?
This has been tested by building a local image from this branch and running in a lab environment along side the official
postgresql
image, both with brand-new worlds as well as using theminetestserver --migrate
command to migrate an existing world.Source / References:
