Raspberry Pi Farm upgrade

Today i have upgraded my Raspberry Pi farm:
– Upgrade OS (bullseye) to latest version
– Created wildcard *.plaatsoft.nl HTTP certificate
– Added HaProxy software load balancer (disable Apache reverse proxy)
– Now load balancer is taking care of the HTTPS offloading
– Now load balancer route HTTP traffic to correct apache node
– Upgrade WordPress to v6.0.2 and wordpress plugins

Migrate MySQL db to PostgreSQL db

mysql
CREATE USER 'family'@'192.168.2.106' IDENTIFIED BY 'family';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON family . * TO 'family'@'192.168.2.106';
flush privileges;

psql
CREATE DATABASE family;
CREATE USER family WITH SUPERUSER ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'family';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE family TO family;

sudo apt-get install pgloader
pgloader mysql://family:family@pi4/family postgresql://family:family@pi6/family

Postgres manually failover

How to failover from Master to Replication node and visa versa
Pi6 192.168.2.106 (MASTER)
Pi7 192.168.2.107 (REPLICATION)

Make Replication node master
# Goto pi7
su postgres
/usr/lib/postgresql/13/bin/pg_ctl -D /data02/data promote

Restore old master
# Goto to pi6
sudo cp /data02/data/*.conf ../.
/usr/lib/postgresql/13/bin/pg_ctl -D /data02/data stop
rm -rf /data02/data/*
/usr/lib/postgresql/13/bin/pg_basebackup --pgdata=/data02/data --format=p --write-recovery-conf --checkpoint=fast --label=mffb --progress --host=pi7 --port=5432 --username=plaatsoft
rm /data02/data/standby.signal
/usr/lib/postgresql/13/bin/pg_ctl -D /data02/data start
psql -c "select * from pg_create_physical_replication_slot('standby1_slot');"

# Goto to pi7
sudo cp /data02/data/*.conf ../.
/usr/lib/postgresql/13/bin/pg_ctl -D /data02/data stop
rm -rf /data02/data/*
/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
/usr/lib/postgresql/13/bin/pg_ctl -D /data02/data start

Check replication

CHECK MASTER NODE
postgres=# \x
postgres=# SELECT * FROM pg_stat_replication;

postgres=# select pg_is_in_recovery();
pg_is_in_recovery
-------------------
f
(1 row)

CHECK REPLICATION NODE
postgres=# \x
postgres=# SELECT * FROM pg_stat_wal_receiver;

postgres=# select pg_is_in_recovery();

HaProxy for Postgres HA

Execute on each Postgresql node the following actions

# Create check script
sudo vi /usr/lib/postgresql/13/bin/pgsqlchk

#!/bin/bash
# This script checks if a postgres server is healthy running on localhost. It will return:
# "HTTP/1.x 200 OK\r" (if postgres is running smoothly)
# - OR -
# "HTTP/1.x 500 Internal Server Error\r" (else)
# The purpose of this script is make haproxy capable of monitoring postgres properly
# It is recommended that a low-privileged postgres user is created to be used by this script.
# For eg. create user healthchkusr login password 'hc321';

PGBIN=/usr/pgsql-10/bin
PGSQL_HOST="localhost"
PGSQL_PORT="5432"
PGSQL_DATABASE="postgres"
PGSQL_USERNAME="postgres"
export PGPASSWORD="passwd"
TMP_FILE="/tmp/pgsqlchk.out"
ERR_FILE="/tmp/pgsqlchk.err"

# We perform a simple query that should return a few results

VALUE=`/usr/lib/postgresql/13/bin/psql -t -h localhost -U postgres -p 5432 -c "select pg_is_in_recovery()" 2> /dev/null`
# Check the output. If it is not empty then everything is fine and we return something. Else, we just do not return anything.

if [ $VALUE == "t" ]
then
/bin/echo -e "HTTP/1.1 206 OK\r\n"
/bin/echo -e "Content-Type: Content-Type: text/plain\r\n"
/bin/echo -e "\r\n"
/bin/echo "Standby"
/bin/echo -e "\r\n"
elif [ $VALUE == "f" ]
