General notes
-------------

See the full `SaltStack Formulas installation and usage instructions
`_.

If you are interested in writing or contributing to formulas, please pay attention to the `Writing Formula Section
`_.

If you want to use this formula, please pay attention to the ``FORMULA`` file and/or ``git tag``,
which contains the currently released version. This formula is versioned according to `Semantic Versioning `_.

Available states
----------------

.. contents::
:local:

``postgres``
^^^^^^^^^^^^

Installs and configures both PostgreSQL server and client with creation of various DB objects in
the cluster. This state applies to both Linux and MacOS.

``postgres.client``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Installs the PostgreSQL client binaries and libraries on Linux.

``postgres.manage``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Creates such DB objects as: users, tablespaces, databases, schemas and extensions.
See ``pillar.example`` file for details.

``postgres.python``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Installs the PostgreSQL adapter for Python on Linux.

``postgres.server``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Installs the PostgreSQL server package on Linux, prepares the DB cluster and starts the server using
packaged init script, job or unit.

.. note::

For PostgreSQL server before version 10 to work inside a **FreeBSD Jail**
set ``sysvshm=new`` and ``sysvsem=new``.
DO NOT SET ``allow.sysvipc=1``. It defeats the purpose of using Jails.

Further information: https://blog.tyk.nu/blog/freebsd-jails-and-sysv-ipc/

**Running inside a container** (using Packer, Docker or similar tools), when OS ``init`` process
is not available to start the service and enable it on "boot", set pillar value:

.. code:: yaml

postgres:
bake_image: True

This toggles starting PostgreSQL daemon by issuing raw ``pg_ctl`` or ``pg_ctlcluster`` command.

``postgres.upstream``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Configures the PostgreSQL Official (upstream) repository on target system if
applicable.

The state relies on the ``postgres:use_upstream_repo`` Pillar value which could be set as following:

* ``True`` (default): adds the upstream repository to install packages from
* ``False``: makes sure that the repository configuration is absent
* ``'postgresapp'`` (MacOS) uses upstream PostgresApp package repository.
* ``'homebrew'`` (MacOS) uses Homebrew postgres

The ``postgres:version`` Pillar controls which version of the PostgreSQL packages should be
installed from the upstream Linux repository. Defaults to ``9.5``.

Removal states
--------------

``postgres.dropped``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Meta state to remove Postgres software. By default the release installed by formula is targeted only. To target multiple releases, set pillar ``postgres.remove.multiple_releases: True``.

``postgres.server.remove``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Remove server, lib, and contrib packages. The ``postgres.server.remove`` will retain data by default (no data loss) - set pillar ``postgres.remove.data: True`` to remove data and configuration directories also.

``postgres.client.remove``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Remove client package.

``postgres.dev.remove``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Remove development and python packages.

Testing
-------

Linux testing is done with ``kitchen-salt``.

``kitchen converge``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Creates the docker instance and runs the ``postgres`` main state, ready for testing.

``kitchen verify``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Runs the ``inspec`` tests on the actual instance.

``kitchen destroy``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Removes the docker instance.

``kitchen test``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Runs all of the stages above in one go: i.e. ``destroy`` + ``converge`` + ``verify`` + ``destroy``.

``kitchen login``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Gives you SSH access to the instance for manual testing.

Testing with Vagrant
--------------------

Windows/FreeBSD/OpenBSD testing is done with ``kitchen-salt``.

Requirements
^^^^^^^^^^^^

* Ruby
* Virtualbox
* Vagrant

Setup
^^^^^

.. code-block:: bash

$ gem install bundler
$ bundle install --with=vagrant
$ bin/kitchen test [platform]

Where ``[platform]`` is the platform name defined in ``kitchen.vagrant.yml``,
e.g. ``windows-81-latest-py3``.

Note
^^^^

When testing using Vagrant you must set the environment variable ``KITCHEN_LOCAL_YAML`` to ``kitchen.vagrant.yml``. For example:

.. code-block:: bash

$ KITCHEN_LOCAL_YAML=kitchen.vagrant.yml bin/kitchen test # Alternatively,
$ export KITCHEN_LOCAL_YAML=kitchen.vagrant.yml
$ bin/kitchen test

Then run the following commands as needed.

``bin/kitchen converge``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Creates the Vagrant instance and runs the ``postgres`` main state, ready for testing.

``bin/kitchen verify``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Runs the ``inspec`` tests on the actual instance.

``bin/kitchen destroy``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Removes the Vagrant instance.

``bin/kitchen test``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Runs all of the stages above in one go: i.e. ``destroy`` + ``converge`` + ``verify`` + ``destroy``.

``bin/kitchen login``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Gives you RDP/SSH access to the instance for manual testing.
