Plugins collection for each PostgreSQL version can be accessed with
<literal>.pkgs</literal>. For example, for
<literal>pkgs.postgresql_11</literal> package, its plugin collection is
accessed by <literal>pkgs.postgresql_11.pkgs</literal>:

You can build custom PostgreSQL-with-plugins (to be used outside of NixOS) using
function <literal>.withPackages</literal>. For example, creating a custom
PostgreSQL package in an overlay can look like:
<programlisting>
self: super: {
postgresql_custom = self.postgresql_11.withPackages (ps: [
ps.pg_repack
ps.postgis
]);
}
</programlisting>

Here's a recipe on how to override a particular plugin through an overlay:
<programlisting>
self: super: {
postgresql_11 = super.postgresql_11.override { this = self.postgresql_11; } // {
pkgs = super.postgresql_11.pkgs // {
pg_repack = super.postgresql_11.pkgs.pg_repack.overrideAttrs (_: {
