# PostgreSQL
[PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) is an object-relational database management system (ORDBMS) with an emphasis on extensibility and on standards-compliance.
## TL;DR;
```console
$ helm install stable/postgresql
```
## Introduction
This chart bootstraps a [PostgreSQL](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-postgresql) deployment on a [Kubernetes](http://kubernetes.io) cluster using the [Helm](https://helm.sh) package manager.
Bitnami charts can be used with [Kubeapps](https://kubeapps.com/) for deployment and management of Helm Charts in clusters.
## Prerequisites
- Kubernetes 1.4+ with Beta APIs enabled
- PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure
## Installing the Chart
To install the chart with the release name `my-release`:
```console
$ helm install --name my-release stable/postgresql
```
The command deploys PostgreSQL on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The [configuration](#configuration) section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.
> **Tip**: List all releases using `helm list`
## Uninstalling the Chart
To uninstall/delete the `my-release` deployment:
```console
$ helm delete my-release
```
The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.
## Configuration
The following tables lists the configurable parameters of the PostgreSQL chart and their default values.

Specify each parameter using the `--set key=value[,key=value]` argument to `helm install`. For example,
```console
$ helm install --name my-release \
--set postgresqlPassword=secretpassword,postgresqlDatabase=my-database \
stable/postgresql
```
The above command sets the PostgreSQL `postgres` account password to `secretpassword`. Additionally it creates a database named `my-database`.
Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,
```console
$ helm install --name my-release -f values.yaml stable/postgresql
```
> **Tip**: You can use the default [values.yaml](values.yaml)
### postgresql.conf / pg_hba.conf files as configMap
This helm chart also supports to customize the whole configuration file.
Add your custom file to "files/postgresql.conf" in your working directory. This file will be mounted as configMap to the containers and it will be used for configuring the PostgreSQL server.
Alternatively, you can specify PostgreSQL configuration parameters using the `postgresqlConfiguration` parameter as a dict, using camelCase, e.g. {"sharedBuffers": "500MB"}.
## Initialize a fresh instance
The [Bitnami PostgreSQL](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-postgresql) image allows you to use your custom scripts to initialize a fresh instance. In order to execute the scripts, they must be located inside the chart folder `files/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d` so they can be consumed as a ConfigMap.
Alternatively, you can specify custom scripts using the `initdbScripts` parameter as dict.
The allowed extensions are `.sh`, `.sql` and `.sql.gz`.
## Production and horizontal scaling
The following repo contains the recommended production settings for PostgreSQL server in an alternative [values file](values-production.yaml). Please read carefully the comments in the values-production.yaml file to set up your environment
To horizontally scale this chart, first download the [values-production.yaml](values-production.yaml) file to your local folder, then:
```console
$ helm install --name my-release -f ./values-production.yaml stable/postgresql
$ kubectl scale statefulset my-postgresql-slave --replicas=3
```
## Persistence
The [Bitnami PostgreSQL](https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-postgresql) image stores the PostgreSQL data and configurations at the `/bitnami/postgresql` path of the container.
Persistent Volume Claims are used to keep the data across deployments. This is known to work in GCE, AWS, and minikube.
See the [Configuration](#configuration) section to configure the PVC or to disable persistence.
## Metrics
The chart optionally can start a metrics exporter for [prometheus](https://prometheus.io). The metrics endpoint (port 9187) is not exposed and it is expected that the metrics are collected from inside the k8s cluster using something similar as the described in the [example Prometheus scrape configuration](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/blob/master/documentation/examples/prometheus-kubernetes.yml).
The exporter allows to create custom metrics from additional SQL queries. See the Chart's `values.yaml` for an example and consult the [exporters documentation](https://github.com/wrouesnel/postgres_exporter#adding-new-metrics-via-a-config-file) for more details.
## NetworkPolicy
To enable network policy for PostgreSQL, install [a networking plugin that implements the Kubernetes NetworkPolicy spec](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/declare-network-policy#before-you-begin), and set `networkPolicy.enabled` to `true`.
For Kubernetes v1.5 & v1.6, you must also turn on NetworkPolicy by setting the DefaultDeny namespace annotation. Note: this will enforce policy for _all_ pods in the namespace:
```console
$ kubectl annotate namespace default "net.beta.kubernetes.io/network-policy={\"ingress\":{\"isolation\":\"DefaultDeny\"}}"
```
With NetworkPolicy enabled, traffic will be limited to just port 5432.
For more precise policy, set `networkPolicy.allowExternal=false`. This will only allow pods with the generated client label to connect to PostgreSQL.
This label will be displayed in the output of a successful install.
## Upgrade
In order to upgrade from the `0.X.X` branch to `1.X.X`, you should follow the below steps:
- Obtain the service name (`SERVICE_NAME`) and password (`OLD_PASSWORD`) of the existing postgresql chart. You can find the instructions to obtain the password in the NOTES.txt, the service name can be obtained by running
```console
$ kubectl get svc
```
- Install (not upgrade) the new version
```console
$ helm repo update
$ helm install --name my-release stable/postgresql
```
- Connect to the new pod (you can obtain the name by running `kubectl get pods`):
```console
$ kubectl exec -it NAME bash
```
- Once logged in, create a dump file from the previous database using `pg_dump`, for that we should connect to the previous postgresql chart:
```console
$ pg_dump -h SERVICE_NAME -U postgres DATABASE_NAME > /tmp/backup.sql
```
After run above command you should be prompted for a password, this password is the previous chart password (`OLD_PASSWORD`).
This operation could take some time depending on the database size.
- Once you have the backup file, you can restore it with a command like the one below:
```console
$ psql -U postgres DATABASE_NAME < /tmp/backup.sql
```
In this case, you are accessing to the local postgresql, so the password should be the new one (you can find it in NOTES.txt).
If you want to restore the database and the database schema does not exist, it is necessary to first follow the steps described below.
```console
$ psql -U postgres
postgres=# drop database DATABASE_NAME;
postgres=# create database DATABASE_NAME;
postgres=# create user USER_NAME;
postgres=# alter role USER_NAME with password 'BITNAMI_USER_PASSWORD';
postgres=# grant all privileges on database DATABASE_NAME to USER_NAME;
postgres=# alter database DATABASE_NAME owner to USER_NAME;
```
