PostgreSQL HA setup

How to setup High Available PostgreSQL on two nodes.

Pi6 192.168.2.106 (MASTER)

Pi7 192.168.2.107 (REPLICATION)


Run below commands on both Pis:


sudo vi /etc/hosts

Add pi6 192.168.2.106

Add pi7 192.168.2.107


sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install postgresql


# Stop postgresql

sudo systemctl stop postgresql


# Create directories

sudo mkdir /data02

sudo mkdir /data02/data

sudo chmod a+wrx /data02

sudo chown postgres:postgres /data02/data

sudo chmod 0700 /data02/data


# Remove old databases

rm -rf /var/lib/postgresql/13/main

ln -s /data02/data /var/lib/postgresql/13/main

rm -rf /etc/postgresql/13/main

ln -s /data02/data /etc/postgresql/13/main


Run below commands only in Pi6 (MASTER):


# Create new database

/usr/lib/postgresql/13/bin/pg_ctl initdb -D /data02/data


# Update PostgresSQL configuration

vi /etc/postgresql/13/main/postgresql.conf

Change #listen_addresses = 'localhost' to listen_addresses = '*'

Change #wal_level = replica to wal_level = replica

Change #max_wal_senders = 10 to max_wal_senders = 10

Change #wal_keep_size = 0 to wal_keep_size = 0


vi /etc/postgresql/13/main/pg_hba.conf

Add next line

host all all 192.168.2.0/24 trust

host replication plaatsoft 192.168.2.0/24 trust


# Start database

/usr/lib/postgresql/13/bin/pg_ctl -D /data02/data start

of

systemctl start postgresql


# Create replication user

psql -c "CREATE USER plaatsoft WITH PASSWORD 'plaatsoft' REPLICATION;"


5. Create replication slot on Primary Server

psql -c "select * from pg_create_physical_replication_slot('standby1_slot');"


Run below commands only in Pi7 (REPLICATION):


# Create replication database based on master

/usr/lib/postgresql/13/bin/pg_basebackup --pgdata=/data02/data --format=p --write-recovery-conf --checkpoint=fast --label=mffb --progress --host=pi6 --port=5432 --username=plaatsoft


# Update PostgresSQL configuration

vi /etc/postgresql/13/main/postgresql.conf


# Update PostgresSQL configuration

vi /etc/postgresql/13/main/postgresql.conf

Change primary_conninfo to 'host=pi6 port=5432 user=plaatsoft password=plaatsoft'

Change primary_slot_name to 'standby1_slot'


# Start database

/usr/lib/postgresql/13/bin/pg_ctl -D /data02/data start

of

systemctl start postgresql
