Pre-Requisites

For correctly installed and configuration of the cluster following are requirements:

Ansible (on the machine on which playbook will be executed).
Operating system privileged user (user with sudo privilege) on all the servers/virtual machines.
Machines for the Postgres or EPAS cluster should have at least 2 CPUs and 4 GB of RAM
The machine utilized for deploying with ansible can be a minimal instance

Installation

To install Ansible: Installing Ansible

The edb_ansible Ansible collection can be installed in 3 different approaches:

Installing the `edb_postgres` Ansible Collection from Ansible Galaxy

Installing the edb_postgres Ansible Collection is done by following the steps below:

Open the command line

Type:

$ ansible-galaxy collection install edb_devops.edb_postgres --force

Press Enter

This approach automatically makes the edb_postgres collection available to your playbooks.

A message indicating where the collection is installed will be displayed by ansible-galaxy. The collection code should be automatically made readily available for you.

By default the location of your installed collection is: ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections

Downloading the `edb-ansible` repository source code from the repository in GitHub

This method requires to have the ansible-galaxy tool installed.

Downloading the code from the repository can be accomplished by following the steps below:

Navigate to the repository address: https://github.com/EnterpriseDB/edb-ansible
Click on the green Code Button located next to the About section
Click on the Download Zip Link menu option

After the code has been downloaded, the code will be available as a zip file which requires being unzipped to your desired target destination.

After the code has been unzipped, you must go to root folder edb-ansible-main, and install the collection by entering the command below:

$ make install

This approach automatically makes the edb_postgres collection available to your playbooks.

A message indicating where the collection is installed will be displayed by ansible-galaxy. The collection code should be automatically made readily available for you.

By default the location of your installed collection is: ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections

Cloning the `edb-ansible` repository source code from the repository GitHub

This method requires to have the ansible-galaxy tool installed.

Downloading the code from the repository can be accomplished by following the steps below:

How to include the roles in your Playbook

Below is an example of how to include all the roles for a deployment in a playbook:

---
- hosts: all
  name: Postgres deployment playbook
  become: yes
  gather_facts: yes

  collections:
    - edb_devops.edb_postgres

  pre_tasks:
    - name: Initialize the user defined variables
      set_fact:
        pg_version: 14
        pg_type: "EPAS"
        repo_username: "<edb-package-repository-username>"
        repo_password: "<edb-package-repository-password>"
        repo_token: "<edb-package-repository-token>"
        disable_logging: false

  roles:
    - role: setup_repo
      when: "'setup_repo' in lookup('edb_devops.edb_postgres.supported_roles', wantlist=True)"
    - role: install_dbserver
      when: "'install_dbserver' in lookup('edb_devops.edb_postgres.supported_roles', wantlist=True)"
    - role: init_dbserver
      when: "'init_dbserver' in lookup('edb_devops.edb_postgres.supported_roles', wantlist=True)"
    - role: setup_replication
      when: "'setup_replication' in lookup('edb_devops.edb_postgres.supported_roles', wantlist=True)"
    - role: setup_efm
      when: "'setup_efm' in lookup('edb_devops.edb_postgres.supported_roles', wantlist=True)"
    - role: setup_pgpool2
      when: "'setup_pgpool2' in lookup('edb_devops.edb_postgres.supported_roles', wantlist=True)"
    - role: manage_pgpool2
      when: "'manage_pgpool2' in lookup('edb_devops.edb_postgres.supported_roles', wantlist=True)"
    - role: manage_dbserver
      when: "'manage_dbserver' in lookup('edb_devops.edb_postgres.supported_roles', wantlist=True)"
    - role: setup_pemserver
      when: "'setup_pemserver' in lookup('edb_devops.edb_postgres.supported_roles', wantlist=True)"
    - role: setup_pemagent
      when: "'setup_pemagent' in lookup('edb_devops.edb_postgres.supported_roles', wantlist=True)"
    - role: setup_pgbackrest
      when: "'setup_pgbackrest' in lookup('edb_devops.edb_postgres.supported_roles', wantlist=True)"
    - role: setup_pgbackrestserver
      when: "'setup_pgbackrestserver' in lookup('edb_devops.edb_postgres.supported_roles', wantlist=True)"
    - role: setup_pgbouncer
      when: "'setup_pgbouncer' in lookup('edb_devops.edb_postgres.supported_roles', wantlist=True)"
    - role: manage_pgbouncer
      when: "'manage_pgbouncer' in lookup('edb_devops.edb_postgres.supported_roles', wantlist=True)"
    - role: setup_barmanserver
      when: "'setup_barmanserver' in lookup('edb_devops.edb_postgres.supported_roles', wantlist=True)"
    - role: setup_barman
      when: "'setup_barman' in lookup('edb_devops.edb_postgres.supported_roles', wantlist=True)"
    - role: tuning
      when: "'tuning' in lookup('edb_devops.edb_postgres.supported_roles', wantlist=True)"

You can customize the above example to install PostgreSQL, EPAS, EFM or PEM or limit what roles you would like to execute.

If you are planning to try Patroni based cluster below is an example of hot to include roles for patroni cluster playbook:

---
- hosts: all
  name: Postgres deployment playbook
  become: yes
  gather_facts: yes

  collections:
    - edb_devops.edb_postgres

  pre_tasks:
    - name: Initialize the user defined variables
      set_fact:
        pg_version: 14
        pg_type: "EPAS"
        repo_username: "<edb-package-repository-username>"
        repo_password: "<edb-package-repository-password>"
        repo_token: "<edb-package-repository-token>"
        use_patroni: true
        disable_logging: false

  roles:
    - role: setup_repo
      when: "'setup_repo' in lookup('edb_devops.edb_postgres.supported_roles', wantlist=True)"
    - role: install_dbserver
      when: "'install_dbserver' in lookup('edb_devops.edb_postgres.supported_roles', wantlist=True)"
    - role: setup_etcd
      when: "'setup_etcd' in lookup('edb_devops.edb_postgres.supported_roles', wantlist=True)"
    - role: setup_patroni
      when: "'setup_patroni' in lookup('edb_devops.edb_postgres.supported_roles', wantlist=True)"

Access to EDB's package repository

By default, the setup_repo role requires to define credentials (variables repo_username and repo_password or repo_token) that will be used to configure the access to EDB's package repository. Having access to EDB package repository is necessary to deploy EDB softwares like EPAS, EFM or PEM.

When deploying softwares coming only from the community repository (PGDG) like PostgreSQL, barman or pgbouncer, it's not needed to configure access to EDB's repository. To disable it, the variable enable_edb_repo must be set to false.

Default user and passwords

The following will occur should a password not be provided for the following accounts:

pg_superuser
pg_replication_user
pg_efm_user
pg_pem_agent_user
pg_pem_admin_user

Note:

The ~/.edb folder and contained files are secured by assigning the permissions to user executing the playbook.
A password of 20 characters will be automatically created under: ~/.edb folder.
The naming convention for the password file is: <username>_pass

Playbook examples

Examples of utilizing the playbooks for installing: PostgresSQL, EPAS, etc.. are provided and located within the playbook-examples directory.

SSH port configuration

When using non standard SSH port (different from 22), the port value must be set in two places:

in the inventory file, for each host, with the host var. ansible_port
in the playbook or variable file with the variable ssh_port

Playbook execution examples

# To deploy community Postgres version 13
$ ansible-playbook playbook.yml \
  -i inventory.yml \
  -u <ssh-user> \
  --private-key <ssh-private-key> \
  --extra-vars="pg_version=13 pg_type=PG enable_edb_repo=false"

# To deploy EPAS version 12 with the user ec2-user
$ ansible-playbook playbook.yml \
  -i inventory.yml \
  -u <ssh-user> \
  --private-key <ssh-private-key> \
  --extra-vars="pg_version=12 pg_type=EPAS repo_username=<edb-repo-username> repo_password=<edb-repo-password>"
# OR
$ ansible-playbook playbook.yml \
  -i inventory.yml \
  -u <ssh-user> \
  --private-key <ssh-private-key> \
  --extra-vars="pg_version=12 pg_type=EPAS repo_token=<edb-repo-token>"

Default user and passwords

The following will occur should a password not be provided for the following accounts:

pg_superuser
pg_replication_user
pg_efm_user
pg_pem_agent_user
pg_pem_admin_user

Note:

The ~/.edb folder and contained files are secured by assigning the permissions to user executing the playbook.
A password of 20 characters will be automatically created under: ~/.edb folder.
The naming convention for the password file is: <username>_pass

Playbook examples

Examples of utilizing the playbooks for installing: PostgresSQL, EPAS, etc.. are provided and located within the playbook-examples directory.

SSH port configuration

When using non standard SSH port (different from 22), the port value must be set in two places:

in the inventory file, for each host, with the host var. ansible_port
in the playbook or variable file with the variable ssh_port

Playbook execution examples

# To deploy community Postgres version 13
$ ansible-playbook playbook.yml \
  -i inventory.yml \
  -u <ssh-user> \
  --private-key <ssh-private-key> \
  --extra-vars="pg_version=13 pg_type=PG enable_edb_repo=false"

# To deploy EPAS version 12 with the user ec2-user
$ ansible-playbook playbook.yml \
  -i inventory.yml \
  -u <ssh-user> \
  --private-key <ssh-private-key> \
  --extra-vars="pg_version=12 pg_type=EPAS repo_username=<edb-repo-username> repo_password=<edb-repo-password>"
# OR
$ ansible-playbook playbook.yml \
  -i inventory.yml \
  -u <ssh-user> \
  --private-key <ssh-private-key> \
  --extra-vars="pg_version=12 pg_type=EPAS repo_token=<edb-repo-token>"
