Routine bug fix / Docker Support / English Docs

Now docker is enabled on meta node by default. You can launch ton’s of SaaS with it

English document is available now.

Bug Fix


v1.4.0

Architecture

  • Decouple system into 4 major categories: INFRA, NODES, PGSQL, REDIS, which makes pigsty far more clear and more extensible.
  • Single Node Deployment = INFRA + NODES + PGSQL
  • Deploy pgsql clusters = NODES + PGSQL
  • Deploy redis clusters = NODES + REDIS
  • Deploy other databases = NODES + xxx (e.g MONGO, KAFKA, … TBD)

Accessibility

  • CDN for mainland China.
  • Get the latest source with bash -c "$(curl -fsSL http://get.pigsty.cc/latest)"
  • Download & Extract packages with new download script.

Monitor Enhancement

  • Split monitoring system into 5 major categories: INFRA, NODES, REDIS, PGSQL, APP
  • Logging enabled by default
    • now loki and promtail are enabled by default. with prebuilt loki-rpm
  • Models & Labels
    • A hidden ds prometheus datasource variable is added for all dashboards, so you can easily switch different datasource simply by select a new one rather than modifying Grafana Datasources & Dashboards
    • An ip label is added for all metrics, and will be used as join key between database metrics & nodes metrics
  • INFRA Monitoring
    • Home dashboard for infra: INFRA Overview
    • Add logging Dashboards : Logs Instance
    • PGLOG Analysis & PGLOG Session now treated as an example Pigsty APP.
  • NODES Monitoring Application
    • If you don’t care database at all, Pigsty now can be used as host monitoring software alone!
    • Consist of 4 core dashboards: Nodes Overview & Nodes Cluster & Nodes Instance & Nodes Alert
    • Introduce new identity variables for nodes: node_cluster and nodename
    • Variable pg_hostname now means set hostname same as postgres instance name to keep backward-compatible
    • Variable nodename_overwrite control whether overwrite node’s hostname with nodename
    • Variable nodename_exchange will write nodename to each other’s /etc/hosts
    • All nodes metrics reference are overhauled, join by ip
    • Nodes monitoring targets are managed alone under /etc/prometheus/targets/nodes
  • PGSQL Monitoring Enhancement
    • Complete new PGSQL Cluster which simplify and focus on important stuff among cluster.
    • New Dashboard PGSQL Databases which is cluster level object monitoring. Such as tables & queries among the entire cluster rather than single instance.
    • PGSQL Alert dashboard now only focus on pgsql alerts.
    • PGSQL Shard are added to PGSQL
  • Redis Monitoring Enhancement
    • Add nodes monitoring for all redis dashboards.

MatrixDB Support

  • MatrixDB (Greenplum 7) can be deployed via pigsty-matrix.yml playbook
  • MatrixDB Monitor Dashboards : PGSQL MatrixDB
  • Example configuration added: pigsty-mxdb.yml

Provisioning Enhancement

Now pigsty work flow works as this:

 infra.yml ---> install pigsty on single meta node
      |          then add more nodes under pigsty's management
      |
 nodes.yml ---> prepare nodes for pigsty (node setup, dcs, node_exporter, promtail)
      |          then choose one playbook to deploy database clusters on those nodes
      |
      ^--> pgsql.yml   install postgres on prepared nodes
      ^--> redis.yml   install redis on prepared nodes

infra-demo.yml = 
           infra.yml -l meta     +
           nodes.yml -l pg-test  +
           pgsql.yml -l pg-test +
           infra-loki.yml + infra-jupyter.yml + infra-pgweb.yml
 
  • nodes.yml to setup & prepare nodes for pigsty
    • setup node, node_exporter, consul agent on nodes
    • node-remove.yml are used for node de-register
  • pgsql.yml now only works on prepared nodes
    • pgsql-remove now only responsible for postgres itself. (dcs and node monitor are taken by node.yml)
    • Add a series of new options to reuse postgres role in greenplum/matrixdb
  • redis.yml now works on prepared nodes
    • and redis-remove.yml now remove redis from nodes.
  • pgsql-matrix.yml now install matrixdb (Greenplum 7) on prepared nodes.

How to upgrade from v1.1.1

There’s no API change in 1.2.0 You can still use old pigsty.yml configuration files (PG13).

For the infrastructure part. Re-execution of repo will do most of the parts

As for the database. You can still use the existing PG13 instances. In-place upgrade is quite tricky especially when involving extensions such as PostGIS & Timescale. I would highly recommend performing a database migration with logical replication.

The new playbook pgsql-migration.yml will make this a lot easier. It will create a series of scripts which will help you to migrate your cluster with near-zero downtime.

A service has some mandatory fields:

  • name: service’s name
  • src_port: which port to listen and expose service?
  • selector: which instances belonging to this service?
  # default service will route {ip|name}:5436 to primary postgres (5436->5432 primary)
  - name: default           # service's actual name is {{ pg_cluster }}-{{ service.name }}
    src_ip: "*"             # service bind ip address, * for all, vip for cluster virtual ip address
    src_port: 5436          # bind port, mandatory
    dst_port: postgres      # target port: postgres|pgbouncer|port_number , pgbouncer(6432) by default

Database

Add additional locale support: lc_ctype and lc_collate.

It’s mainly because of pg_trgm ’s weird behavior on i18n characters.

pg_databases:
  - name: meta                      # name is the only required field for a database
    # owner: postgres                 # optional, database owner

Changes

  • username field rename to name
  • groups field rename to roles
  • options now split into separated configration entries: login, superuser, createdb, createrole, inherit, replication,bypassrls,connlimit
  • expire_at and expire_in options
  • pgbouncer option for user is now false by default

Apply Changes

You can create new users on running postgres clusters with pgsql-createuser.yml playbook.

  1. Define your new users in config files (pg_users)
  2. Pass new user.name with option pg_user to playbook.
./pgsql-createuser.yml -e pg_user=<your_new_user_name>

Database Provision Template

Now you can customize your database content with pigsty !

pg_users:
  - username: test
    password: test
    comment: default test user
    groups: [ dbrole_readwrite ]    # dborole_admin|dbrole_readwrite|dbrole_readonly
pg_databases:                       # create a business database 'test'

    parameters:                     # overwrite database meta's default search_path
      search_path: public,monitor

pg-init-template.sql wil be used as default template1 database init script pg-init-business.sql will be used as default business database init script

you can customize default role system, schemas, extensions, privileges with variables now:
