File Structure

Introduction to pigsty file structure hierarchy

The following parameters are related to the Pigsty directory structure

  • pg_dbsu_home: home directory of the default user of Postgres, default is /var/lib/pgsql
  • pg_bin_dir: Postgres binary directory, defaults to /usr/pgsql/bin/
  • pg_data: Postgres database directory, defaults to /pg/data
  • pg_fs_main: Postgres main data disk mount point, default is /export
  • pg_fs_bkup: Postgres backup disk mount point, default is /var/backups (optional, you can also choose to backup to the main data disk)

Overview

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Create Directory
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# this assumes that
#   /pg is shortcut for postgres home
#   {{ pg_fs_main }} contains the main data             (MUST ALREADY MOUNTED)
#   {{ pg_fs_bkup }} contains archive and backup data   (MUST ALREADY MOUNTED)
#   cluster-version is the default parent folder for pgdata (e.g pg-test-12)
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# default variable:
#     pg_fs_main = /export           fast ssd
#     pg_fs_bkup = /var/backups      cheap hdd
#
#     /pg      -> /export/postgres/pg-test-12
#     /pg/data -> /export/postgres/pg-test-12/data

  tags: pg_dir
  become: yes
  block:
    - name: Make sure main and backup dir exists
      file: path={{ item }} state=directory owner=root mode=0777
      with_items:

    - name: Create postgres directory structure
      file: path={{ item }} state=directory owner={{ pg_dbsu }} group=postgres mode=0700
      with_items:
        - "{{ pg_fs_main }}/postgres"
        - "{{ pg_cluster_dir }}"
        - "{{ pg_cluster_dir }}/bin"
        - "{{ pg_cluster_dir }}/log"
        - "{{ pg_cluster_dir }}/tmp"
        - "{{ pg_cluster_dir }}/conf"
        - "{{ pg_cluster_dir }}/data"
        - "{{ pg_cluster_dir }}/meta"
        - "{{ pg_cluster_dir }}/stat"
        - "{{ pg_cluster_dir }}/change"
        - "{{ pg_backup_dir }}/postgres"
        - "{{ pg_backup_dir }}/arcwal"
        - "{{ pg_backup_dir }}/backup"
        - "{{ pg_backup_dir }}/remote"

PG二进制目录结构

在RedHat/CentOS上,默认的Postgres发行版安装位置为

/usr/pgsql-${pg_version}/

安装剧本会自动创建指向当前安装版本的软连接,例如,如果安装了13版本的Postgres,则有:

/usr/pgsql -> /usr/pgsql-13

因此,默认的pg_bin_dir/usr/pgsql/bin/,该路径会在/etc/profile.d/pgsql.sh中添加至所有用户的PATH环境变量中。

PG数据目录结构

Pigsty假设用于部署数据库实例的单个节点上至少有一块主数据盘(pg_fs_main),以及一块可选的备份数据盘(pg_fs_bkup)。通常主数据盘是高性能SSD,而备份盘是大容量廉价HDD。

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Create Directory

#   /pg is shortcut for postgres home
#   {{ pg_fs_main }} contains the main data             (MUST ALREADY MOUNTED)
#   {{ pg_fs_bkup }} contains archive and backup data   (MAYBE ALREADY MOUNTED)
#   {{ pg_cluster }}-{{ pg_version }} is the default parent folder 
#    for pgdata (e.g pg-test-12)
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# default variable:
#     pg_fs_main = /export           fast ssd
#     pg_fs_bkup = /var/backups      cheap hdd

#     /pg      -> /export/postgres/pg-test-12
#     /pg/data -> /export/postgres/pg-test-12/data

PG数据库集簇目录结构

Pgbouncer配置文件结构

Pgbouncer使用Postgres用户运行,配置文件位于/etc/pgbouncer。配置文件包括:

  • pgbouncer.ini,主配置文件
  • userlist.txt:列出连接池中的用户
  • pgb_hba.conf:列出连接池用户的访问权限
  • database.txt:列出连接池中的数据库
