Description

This cookbook includes recipes and provider to install and configure postgresql database. This cookbook was tested with Postgresql 9.1 and 9.2, and should work with 9.0 too.

Changelog

See CHANGELOG.md

Requirements

• This cookbook version (0.2.x) tested only on Debian squeeze and Ubuntu 12.04.
• You must have apt repository with Postgres version 9.x

Attributes

This cookbook have server and client attribute files.

With client attributes(["postgresql"]["client"]) you can set only postgresql client and library version.

Server attributes are starting from ["postgresql"]["defaults"] and used as default attributes for postgresql provider. You should not override this defaults, you can pass your settings to provider instead.

Resources/Providers

Actions

• :create: creates postgresql cluster

Attribute Parameters

• cluster_name: name attribute. Cluster name (e.g. main).
• cookbook: cookbook for templates. Skip this for default templates.
• databag: data bag for users and databases, if you don't want create users or databases with chef you can skip this. See examples below.
• cluster_create_options: options for pg_createcluster (only locale related options)
• configuration: Hash with configuration options for postgresql. Configuration divided to sections, see examples.
• hba_configuration: Array with hba configuration, see examples.
• ident_configuration: Array with ident configuration, see examples.
• replication: Hash with replication configuration. Now provider supports only streaming replication. See examples. Cluster must be copied manually before chef run.

Examples

Example master database setup:

postgresql "main" do
  cluster_create_options( "locale" => "ru_RU.UTF-8" )
  configuration(
    :version => "9.1",
    :connection => {
      :listen_addresses        => "'192.168.0.1'",
      :max_connections         => 300,
      :ssl_renegotiation_limit => 0
    },
    :resources => {
      :shared_buffers       => "512MB",
      :maintenance_work_mem => "64MB",
      :work_mem             => "8MB"
    },
    :queries => { :effective_cache_size => "512MB" },
    :wal     => { :checkpoint_completion_target => "0.9" },
    :logging => { :log_min_duration_statement => "200" }
  )
  hba_configuration(
    [
      { :type => "host", :database => "all", :user => "all", :address => "192.168.0.0/24", :method => "md5" },
      { :type => "host", :database => "replication", :user => "postgres", :address => "192.168.0.10/32", :method => "trust" }
    ]
  )
end

Example slave database setup:

postgresql "main" do
  cluster_create_options( "locale" => "ru_RU.UTF-8" )
  configuration(
    :version => "9.1",
    :connection => {
      :listen_addresses        => "'192.168.0.10'",
      :max_connections         => 300,
      :ssl_renegotiation_limit => 0
    },
    :resources => {
      :shared_buffers       => "512MB",
      :maintenance_work_mem => "64MB",
      :work_mem             => "8MB"
    },
    :queries => { :effective_cache_size => "512MB" },
    :wal     => { :checkpoint_completion_target => "0.9" },
    :logging => { :log_min_duration_statement => "200" },
    :standby => { :hot_standby => "on" }
  )
  hba_configuration(
    [
      { :type => "host", :database => "all", :user => "all", :address => "192.168.0.0/24", :method => "md5" },
      { :type => "host", :database => "replication", :user => "postgres", :address => "192.168.0.10/32", :method => "trust" }
    ]
  )
  replication(
    :standby_mode =>"on",
    :primary_conninfo => "host=192.168.0.1",
    :trigger_file => "/tmp/pgtrigger"
  )
end

Example users and databases setup

postgresql "main" do
  databag "my_db"
end

You should have "my_db" databag with 'users' and/or 'databases' keys. For example:

/* data_bags/my_db/users.json */
{
  "id": "users",
  "users": {
    "repmgr": {
      "options": {
        "replication": "yes"
      }
    },
    "my_db_user": {
      "options": {
        "password": "this_is_password"
      }
    }
  }
}

/* data_bags/my_db/databases.json */
{
  "id": "databases",
  "databases": {
    "my_first_db": {
      "options": {
        "owner": "my_db_user"
      }
    },
    "my_second_db": {
      "options": {
        "owner": "my_db_user"
      }
    }
  }
}
