Within the first part I have described the setup of Consul as replacement for ETCD.
\nHere now the setup ob keepalived, haproxy and patroni.<\/p>\n
The needed packages I have installed within the first part, so let’s start with the configuration of keepalived.<\/p>\n
At first we need to open firewalld for the VRRP Protocol:<\/p>\n
\n$ [root@patroni-01 ~]# firewall-cmd --add-rich-rule='rule protocol value=\"vrrp\" accept' --permanent\n$ success\n$ [root@patroni-01 ~]# firewall-cmd --reload\n$ success\n$ [root@patroni-01 ~]#\n<\/pre>\nNext part will be the configuration of keepalived:<\/p>\n
\n$ [root@patroni-01 \/]# cat \/etc\/keepalived\/keepalived.conf\n$ vrrp_script haproxy {\n$ script \"killall -0 haproxy\"\n$ interval 2\n$ weight 2\n$ }\n$ vrrp_instance VI_1 {\n$ state MASTER\n$ interface ens160\n$ virtual_router_id 51\n$ priority 255\n$ advert_int 1\n$ authentication {\n$ auth_type PASS\n$ auth_pass new_password\n$ }\n$ virtual_ipaddress {\n$ 192.168.198.200\/24\n$ }\n$ track_script {\n$ haproxy\n$ }\n$ }\n$ [root@patroni-01 \/]#\n<\/pre>\nPriority defines the default role, in my case 255 for the master role.<\/p>\n
The keepalived.conf for the backup role on patroni-02:<\/p>\n
\n$ [root@patroni-02 \/]# cat \/etc\/keepalived\/keepalived.conf\n$ vrrp_script haproxy {\n$ script \"killall -0 haproxy\"\n$ interval 2\n$ weight 2\n$ }\n$ vrrp_instance VI_1 {\n$ state BACKUP\n$ interface ens160\n$ virtual_router_id 51\n$ priority 254\n$ advert_int 1\n$ authentication {\n$ auth_type PASS\n$ auth_pass new_password\n$ }\n$ virtual_ipaddress {\n$ 192.168.198.200\/24\n$ }\n$ track_script {\n$ haproxy\n$ }\n$ }\n[root@patroni-02 \/]#\n<\/pre>\nThe keepalived.conf for the backup role on patroni-03:<\/p>\n

\nAt first we need to adapt SE Linux for haproxy or switch it off:<\/p>\n\n$ [root@patroni-01 \/]#setsebool -P haproxy_connect_any=1\n<\/pre>\nhaproxy.cfg is the same on all three servers:<\/p>\n

\n$ [root@patroni-01 \/]# systemctl start haproxy\n$ [root@patroni-01 \/]# systemctl enable haproxy\n<\/pre>\nNow the interesting part, Patroni.
\nAt first, there is a missing dependancy by installing Patroni out of RPM Pachages, python3-urllib3 is missing:<\/p>\n\n$ [root@patroni-01 pgdata]# dnf install python3-urllib3\n$ Last metadata expiration check: 5:18:38 ago on Mon 11 Apr 2022 11:06:33 AM CEST.\n$ Dependencies resolved.\n$ ==========================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================\n$ Package Architecture Version Repository Size\n$ ==========================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================\n$ Installing:\n$ python3-urllib3 noarch 1.24.2-5.el8 baseos 176 k\n$ Installing dependencies:\n$ python3-pysocks noarch 1.6.8-3.el8 baseos 33 k\n$ \n$ Transaction Summary\n$ ==========================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================\n$ Install 2 Packages\n$ \n$ Total download size: 209 k\n$ Installed size: 681 k\n$ Is this ok [y\/N]: y\n$ Downloading Packages:\n$ (1\/2): python3-pysocks-1.6.8-3.el8.noarch.rpm 274 kB\/s | 33 kB 00:00\n$ (2\/2): python3-urllib3-1.24.2-5.el8.noarch.rpm 1.0 MB\/s | 176 kB 00:00\n$ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n$ Total 469 kB\/s | 209 kB 00:00\n$ Running transaction check\n$ Transaction check succeeded.\n$ Running transaction test\n$ Transaction test succeeded.\n$ Running transaction\n$ Preparing : 1\/1\n$ Installing : python3-pysocks-1.6.8-3.el8.noarch 1\/2\n$ Installing : python3-urllib3-1.24.2-5.el8.noarch 2\/2\n$ Running scriptlet: python3-urllib3-1.24.2-5.el8.noarch 2\/2\n$ Verifying : python3-pysocks-1.6.8-3.el8.noarch 1\/2\n$ Verifying : python3-urllib3-1.24.2-5.el8.noarch 2\/2\n$ \n$ Installed:\n$ python3-pysocks-1.6.8-3.el8.noarch python3-urllib3-1.24.2-5.el8.noarch\n$ \n$ Complete!\n<\/pre>\nPatroni need a information which one of the consul nodes is master at start.
\nThis information comes out of the parameter “bootstrap”: true only on the master node at start.<\/p>\n\n$ [root@patroni-01 consul.d]# cat consul.json-dist.hcl\n$ {\n$ \"bootstrap\": true,\n$ \"server\": true,\n$ \"data_dir\": \"\/pgdata\/consul\",\n$ \"log_level\": \"INFO\"\n$ \"disable_update_check\": true,\n$ \"disable_anonymous_signature\": true,\n$ \"advertise_addr\": \"192.168.198.132\",\n$ \"bind_addr\": \"192.168.198.132\",\n$ \"bootstrap_expect\": 3,\n$ \"client_addr\": \"0.0.0.0\",\n$ \"domain\": \"patroni.test\",\n$ \"enable_script_checks\": true,\n$ \"dns_config\": {\n$ \"enable_truncate\": true,\n$ \"only_passing\": true\n$ },\n$ \"enable_syslog\": true,\n$ \"encrypt\": \"ueX3vI8HI63FR\/VE+Yv1T4+x7mrrNIU7F2bDNfPVR9g=\",\n$ \"leave_on_terminate\": true,\n$ \"log_level\": \"INFO\",\n$ \"rejoin_after_leave\": true,\n$ \"retry_join\": [\n$ \"patroni-01\",\n$ \"patroni-02\",\n$ \"patroni-03\"\n$ ],\n$ \"server\": true,\n$ \"start_join\": [\n$ \"patroni-01\",\n$ \"patroni-02\",\n$ \"patroni-03\"\n$ ],\n$ \"ui_config.enabled\": true\n$ }\n$ [root@patroni-01 consul.d]#\n<\/pre>\nNow Patroni, this is similar to Patroni using etcd.
\nBy using etcd there is a part etcd within the patroni.yml file, this is replaced with a part consul:<\/p>\n\n$ [root@patroni-01 patroni]# cat patroni.yml\n$ name: \"patroni-01.patroni.test\"\n$ scope: PG1\n$ namespace: \/patroni.test\/\n$ consul:\n$ url: http:\/\/127.0.0.1:8500\n$ register_service: true\n$ postgresql:\n$ connect_address: \"patroni-01.patroni.test:5432\"\n$ bin_dir: \/usr\/pgsql-14\/bin\n$ data_dir: \/pgdata\/14\/data\n$ authentication:\n$ replication:\n$ username: replicator\n$ password: replicator\n$ superuser:\n$ username: postgres\n$ password: postgres\n$ listen: 192.168.198.132:5432\n$ restapi:\n$ connect_address: \"patroni-01.patroni.test:8008\"\n$ listen: \"patroni-01.patroni.test:8008\"\n$ bootstrap:\n$ dcs:\n$ postgresql:\n$ use_pg_rewind: true\n$ use_slots: true\n$ parameters:\n$ wal_level: 'hot_standby'\n$ hot_standby: \"on\"\n$ wal_keep_segments: 8\n$ max_replication_slots: 10\n$ wal_log_hints: \"on\"\n$ listen_addresses: '*'\n$ port: 5432\n$ logging_collector: 'on'\n$ log_truncate_on_rotation: 'on'\n$ log_filename: 'postgresql-%a.log'\n$ log_rotation_age: '1440'\n$ log_line_prefix: '%m - %l - %p - %h - %u@%d - %x'\n$ log_directory: 'pg_log'\n$ log_min_messages: 'WARNING'\n$ log_autovacuum_min_duration: '60s'\n$ log_min_error_statement: 'NOTICE'\n$ log_min_duration_statement: '30s'\n$ log_checkpoints: 'on'\n$ log_statement: 'ddl'\n$ log_lock_waits: 'on'\n$ log_temp_files: '0'\n$ log_timezone: 'Europe\/Zurich'\n$ log_connections: 'on'\n$ log_disconnections: 'on'\n$ log_duration: 'on'\n$ client_min_messages: 'WARNING'\n$ wal_level: 'replica'\n$ hot_standby_feedback: 'on'\n$ max_wal_senders: '10'\n$ shared_buffers: '1024MB'\n$ work_mem: '8MB'\n$ effective_cache_size: '3072MB'\n$ maintenance_work_mem: '64MB'\n$ wal_compression: 'off'\n$ max_wal_senders: '20'\n$ shared_preload_libraries: 'pg_stat_statements'\n$ autovacuum_max_workers: '6'\n$ autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor: '0.1'\n$ autovacuum_vacuum_threshold: '50'\n$ archive_mode: 'on'\n$ archive_command: '\/bin\/true'\n$ wal_log_hints: 'on'\n$ ssl: \"on\"\n$ ssl_ciphers: \"TLSv1.2:!aNULL:!eNULL\"\n$ ssl_cert_file: \/pgdata\/certs\/server.crt\n$ ssl_key_file: \/pgdata\/certs\/server.key\n$ users:\n$ app_user:\n$ password: \"aZ5QrESZ\"\n$ pg_hba:\n$ - local all all scram-sha-256\n$ - hostssl all all 127.0.0.1\/32 scram-sha-256\n$ - hostssl all all ::1\/128 scram-sha-256\n$ - hostssl all all ::1\/128 scram-sha-256\n$ - hostssl all all 0.0.0.0\/0 scram-sha-256\n$ - hostssl replication replicator patroni-01.patroni.test scram-sha-256\n$ - hostssl replication replicator patroni-01.patroni.test scram-sha-256\n$ - hostssl replication replicator patroni-01.patroni.test scram-sha-256\n$ initdb:\n$ - encoding: UTF8\n$ [root@patroni-01 patroni]#\n<\/pre>\nThe only difference within patroni.yml on the three nodes within this example setup is:
\nname: “patroni-01.patroni.test” needs to be adapted to “patroni-02.patroni.test” or “patroni-03.patroni.test”
\nUnder postgresql:
\n connect_address: “patroni-01.patroni.test:5432” needs to be adapted to “patroni-02.patroni.test:5432” or “patroni-03.patroni.test:5432”.
\n listen: 192.168.198.132:5432 needs to be adpated to the corosponding IPs 192.168.198.133:5432 or 192.168.198.134:5432.
\nUnder reatapi:
\n connect_address: “patroni-01.patroni.test:8008” to “patroni-02.patroni.test:8008” or “patroni-02.patroni.test:8008”.
\n listen: “patroni-01.patroni.test:8008” to “patroni-02.patroni.test:8008” or “patroni-02.patroni.test:8008”.<\/p>\nIn my exapmle patroni-01 is the consul leader, so here we need to start patroni first to be leader within the patroni cluster.
\nMeans the consul leader will be the patroni leader in any case, also in case of failover.<\/p>\n\n$ postgres@patroni-01: patronictl list\n$ + Cluster: PG1 (7358967191570897068) -----------------+---------+----+-----------+\n$ | Member | Host | Role | State | TL | Lag in MB |\n$ +-------------------------+-----------------+---------+---------+----+-----------+\n$ | patroni-01.patroni.test | 192.168.198.132 | Leader | running | 2 | |\n$ | patroni-02.patroni.test | 192.168.198.133 | Replica | running | 2 | 0 |\n$ | patroni-03.patroni.test | 192.168.198.134 | Replica | running | 2 | 0 |\n$ +-------------------------+-----------------+---------+---------+----+-----------+\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Within the first part I have described the setup of Consul as replacement for ETCD.
