Minimal Install
Module:
Pigsty has an entire infrastructure stack as an enclosure of HA PostgreSQL clusters, BUT it is viable to install only the PostgreSQL components without the rest of the stack. This is called a minimal installation.
Overview
The minimal installation focus on Pure HA-PostgreSQL Cluster, and it only installs essential components for this purpose.
There’s NO Infra modules, No monitoring, No local repo Just partial of NODE module, along with ETCD & PGSQL modules
Systemd Service Installed in this mode:
- patroni: REQUIRED, bootstrap HA PostgreSQL cluster
- etcd: REQUIRED, DCS for patroni
- pgbouncer: OPTIONAL, connection pooler for postgres
- vip-manager: OPTIONAL, if you want to use a L2 VIP bind to primary
- haproxy: OPTIONAL, if you wish to auto-routing service
- chronyd: OPTIONAL, if you wish to sync time with NTP server
- tuned: OPTIONAL, manage node template and kernel parameters
You can turn-off the optional components, the only two essential components are patroni and etcd.
Configure
To perform a minimal installation, you need to disable some switches in the pigsty.yml config file:
all:
children:
infra: { hosts: { 10.10.10.10: { infra_seq: 1 } }, vars: { docker_enabled: true } }
etcd:
hosts:
10.10.10.10: { etcd_seq: 1 }
#10.10.10.11: { etcd_seq: 2 } # optional
#10.10.10.12: { etcd_seq: 3 } # optional
vars: { etcd_cluster: etcd }
pg-meta:
hosts:
10.10.10.10: { pg_seq: 1, pg_role: primary } # init one single-node pgsql cluster by default, with:
#10.10.10.11: { pg_seq: 2, pg_role: replica } # optional replica : bin/pgsql-add pg-meta 10.10.10.11
#10.10.10.12: { pg_seq: 3, pg_role: replica } # optional replica : bin/pgsql-add pg-meta 10.10.10.12
vars:
pg_cluster: pg-meta
pg_users: # define business users here: https://pigsty.io/docs/pgsql/user/
- { name: dbuser_meta ,password: DBUser.Meta ,pgbouncer: true ,roles: [ dbrole_admin ] ,comment: pigsty default user }
pg_databases: # define business databases here: https://pigsty.io/docs/pgsql/db/
- { name: meta ,comment: pigsty default database }
pg_hba_rules: # define HBA rules here: https://pigsty.io/docs/pgsql/hba/#define-hba
- { user: dbuser_meta , db: all ,addr: world ,auth: pwd ,title: 'allow default user world access with password (not a good idea!)' }
node_crontab: # define backup policy with crontab (full|diff|incr)
- '00 01 * * * postgres /pg/bin/pg-backup full'
#pg_vip_address: 10.10.10.2/24 # optional l2 vip address and netmask
pg_extensions: # define pg extensions (340 available): https://pigsty.io/docs/pgext/
- postgis timescaledb pgvector
vars:
version: v3.0.4 # pigsty version string
admin_ip: 10.10.10.10 # admin node ip address
region: default # upstream mirror region: default|china|europe
node_tune: tiny # use tiny template for NODE in demo environment
pg_conf: tiny.yml # use tiny template for PGSQL in demo environment
# minimal installation setup
node_repo_modules: node,infra,pgsql
nginx_enabled: false
dns_enabled: false
prometheus_enabled: false
grafana_enabled: false
pg_exporter_enabled: false
pgbouncer_exporter_enabled: false
pg_vip_enabled: false
And instead of using the install.yml playbook, use the pgsql-min.yml instead:
./pgsql-min.yml
