## TL;DR

```console
helm install my-release oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/postgresql-ha
```

## Introduction

This [Helm](https://github.com/kubernetes/helm) chart installs [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) with HA architecture in a Kubernetes cluster. Welcome to [contribute](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) to Helm Chart for PostgreSQL HA.

This Helm chart has been developed based on [bitnami/postgresql](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/postgresql) chart but including some changes to guarantee high availability such as:

- A new deployment, service have been added to deploy [Pgpool-II](https://pgpool.net/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page) to act as proxy for PostgreSQL backend. It helps to reduce connection overhead, acts as a load balancer for PostgreSQL, and ensures database node failover.
- Replacing `bitnami/postgresql` with `bitnami/postgresql-repmgr` which includes and configures [repmgr](https://repmgr.org/). Repmgr ensures standby nodes assume the primary role when the primary node is unhealthy.

Bitnami charts can be used with [Kubeapps](https://kubeapps.dev/) for deployment and management of Helm Charts in clusters.

Looking to use PostgreSQL HA in production? Try [VMware Application Catalog](https://bitnami.com/enterprise), the enterprise edition of Bitnami Application Catalog.

## Prerequisites

- Kubernetes 1.19+
- Helm 3.2.0+

## Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name `my-release`:

```console
helm install my-release oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/postgresql-ha
```

## Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the `my-release` deployment:

```console

| `networkPolicy.enabled`                               | Enable NetworkPolicy                                                                          | `false`      |

Specify each parameter using the `--set key=value[,key=value]` argument to `helm install`. For example,

```console
helm install my-release \
    --set postgresql.password=password \
    oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/postgresql-ha
```

The above command sets the password for user `postgres` to `password`.

> NOTE: Once this chart is deployed, it is not possible to change the application's access credentials, such as usernames or passwords, using Helm. To change these application credentials after deployment, delete any persistent volumes (PVs) used by the chart and re-deploy it, or use the application's built-in administrative tools if available.

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the above parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

```console
helm install my-release \
    -f values.yaml \
    bitnami/postgresql-ha
```

## Configuration and installation details

### [Rolling VS Immutable tags](https://docs.bitnami.com/containers/how-to/understand-rolling-tags-containers/)

It is strongly recommended to use immutable tags in a production environment. This ensures your deployment does not change automatically if the same tag is updated with a different image.

Bitnami will release a new chart updating its containers if a new version of the main container, significant changes, or critical vulnerabilities exist.

### Use a different PostgreSQL version

To modify the application version used in this chart, specify a different version of the image using the `image.tag` parameter and/or a different repository using the `image.repository` parameter. Refer to the [chart documentation for more information on these parameters and how to use them with images from a private registry](https://docs.bitnami.com/kubernetes/infrastructure/postgresql-ha/configuration/change-image-version/).

### Use a volume for /dev/shm

When working with huge databeses, `/dev/shm` can run out of space. A way to fix this is to use the `postgresql.extraVolumes` and `postgresql.extraVolumeMounts` values. In the example below, we set an `emptyDir` volume with 512Mb:

```yaml
postgresql:
  extraVolumes:
    - name: dshm
      emptyDir:
        medium: Memory
        sizeLimit: 512Mi
  extraVolumeMounts:
    - name: dshm
      mountPath: /dev/shm
```

### Configure the way how to expose PostgreSQL

- **ClusterIP**: Exposes the service on a cluster-internal IP. Choosing this value makes the service only reachable from within the cluster. Set `service.type=ClusterIP` to choose this service type.
- **NodePort**: Exposes the service on each Node's IP at a static port (the NodePort). You will be able to contact the NodePort service, from outside the cluster, by requesting `NodeIP:NodePort`. Set `service.type=NodePort` to choose this service type.
- **LoadBalancer**: Exposes the service externally using a cloud provider's load balancer. Set `service.type=LoadBalancer` to choose this service type.

### Adjust permissions of persistent volume mountpoint

As the images run as non-root by default, it is necessary to adjust the ownership of the persistent volumes so that the containers can write data into it.

By default, the chart is configured to use Kubernetes Security Context to automatically change the ownership of the volume. However, this feature does not work in all Kubernetes distributions.
As an alternative, this chart supports using an initContainer to change the ownership of the volume before mounting it in the final destination.

You can enable this initContainer by setting `volumePermissions.enabled` to `true`.

### Securing traffic using TLS

Learn how to [configure TLS authentication](/<%= platform_path %>/infrastructure/postgresql-ha/administration/enable-tls-ingress/)

### LDAP

LDAP support can be enabled in the chart by specifying the `ldap.` parameters while creating a release. The following parameters should be configured to properly enable the LDAP support in the chart.

- **ldap.enabled**: Enable LDAP support. Defaults to `false`.
- **ldap.uri**: LDAP URL beginning in the form `ldap[s]://<hostname>:<port>`. No defaults.
- **ldap.base**: LDAP base DN. No defaults.
- **ldap.binddn**: LDAP bind DN. No defaults.
- **ldap.bindpw**: LDAP bind password. No defaults.
- **ldap.bslookup**: LDAP base lookup. No defaults.
- **ldap.nss_initgroups_ignoreusers**: LDAP ignored users. `root,nslcd`.
- **ldap.scope**: LDAP search scope. No defaults.
- **ldap.tls_reqcert**: LDAP TLS check on server certificates. No defaults.

For example:

```text
ldap.enabled="true"
ldap.uri="ldap://my_ldap_server"
ldap.base="dc=example\,dc=org"
ldap.binddn="cn=admin\,dc=example\,dc=org"
ldap.bindpw="admin"
ldap.bslookup="ou=group-ok\,dc=example\,dc=org"
ldap.nss_initgroups_ignoreusers="root\,nslcd"
ldap.scope="sub"
ldap.tls_reqcert="demand"
```

Next, login to the PostgreSQL server using the `psql` client and add the PAM authenticated LDAP users.

> Note: Parameters including commas must be escaped as shown in the above example.

### repmgr.conf / postgresql.conf / pg_hba.conf / pgpool.conf files as configMap

This helm chart also supports to customize the whole configuration file.

You can specify the Pgpool, PostgreSQL and Repmgr configuration using the `pgpool.configuration`, `postgresql.configuration`, `postgresql.pgHbaConfiguration`, and `postgresql.repmgrConfiguration` parameters. The corresponding files will be mounted as ConfigMap to the containers and it will be used for configuring Pgpool, Repmgr and the PostgreSQL server.

In addition to this option, you can also set an external ConfigMap(s) with all the configuration files. This is done by setting the `postgresql.configurationCM` and `pgpool.configurationCM` parameters. Note that this will override the previous options.

### Allow settings to be loaded from files other than the default `postgresql.conf`

If you don't want to provide the whole PostgreSQL configuration file and only specify certain parameters, you can specify the extended configuration using the `postgresql.extendedConf` parameter. A file will be mounted as configMap to the containers adding/overwriting the default configuration using the `include_dir` directive that allows settings to be loaded from files other than the default `postgresql.conf`.

In addition to this option, you can also set an external ConfigMap with all the extra configuration files. This is done by setting the `postgresql.extendedConfCM` parameter. Note that this will override the previous option.

### Initialize a fresh instance

The [Bitnami PostgreSQL with Repmgr](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/tree/main/bitnami/postgresql-repmgr) image allows you to use your custom scripts to initialize a fresh instance. You can specify custom scripts using the `initdbScripts` parameter as dict so they can be consumed as a ConfigMap.

In addition to this option, you can also set an external ConfigMap with all the initialization scripts. This is done by setting the `initdbScriptsCM` parameter. Note that this will override the two previous options. If your initialization scripts contain sensitive information such as credentials or passwords, you can use the `initdbScriptsSecret` parameter.

The above parameters (`initdbScripts`, `initdbScriptsCM`, and `initdbScriptsSecret`) are supported in both StatefulSet by prepending `postgresql` or `pgpool` to the parameter, depending on the use case (see above parameters table).

The allowed extensions are `.sh`, `.sql` and `.sql.gz` in the **postgresql** container while only `.sh` in the case of the **pgpool** one.

+info: <https://github.com/bitnami/containers/tree/main/bitnami/postgresql#initializing-a-new-instance> and <https://github.com/bitnami/containers/tree/main/bitnami/pgpool#initializing-with-custom-scripts>

### Use of global variables

In more complex scenarios, we may have the following tree of dependencies

```text
                     +--------------+
                     |              |
        +------------+   Chart 1    +-----------+
        |            |              |           |
        |            --------+------+           |
        |                    |                  |
        |                    |                  |
        |                    |                  |
        |                    |                  |
        v                    v                  v
+-------+------+    +--------+------+  +--------+------+
|              |    |               |  |               |
| PostgreSQL HA |  | Sub-chart 1 |  | Sub-chart 2 |
|---------------|--|-------------|--|-------------|
+--------------+    +---------------+  +---------------+
```

The three charts below depend on the parent chart Chart 1. However, subcharts 1 and 2 may need to connect to PostgreSQL HA as well. In order to do so, subcharts 1 and 2 need to know the PostgreSQL HA credentials, so one option for deploying could be deploy Chart 1 with the following parameters:

```text
postgresql.postgresqlPassword=testtest
subchart1.postgresql.postgresqlPassword=testtest
subchart2.postgresql.postgresqlPassword=testtest
postgresql.postgresqlDatabase=db1
subchart1.postgresql.postgresqlDatabase=db1
subchart2.postgresql.postgresqlDatabase=db1
```

If the number of dependent sub-charts increases, installing the chart with parameters can become increasingly difficult. An alternative would be to set the credentials using global variables as follows:

```text
global.postgresql.postgresqlPassword=testtest
global.postgresql.postgresqlDatabase=db1
```

This way, the credentials will be available in all of the subcharts.

## Persistence

The data is persisted by default using PVC templates in the PostgreSQL statefulset. You can disable the persistence setting the `persistence.enabled` parameter to `false`.
A default `StorageClass` is needed in the Kubernetes cluster to dynamically provision the volumes. Specify another StorageClass in the `persistence.storageClass` or set `persistence.existingClaim` if you have already existing persistent volumes to use.

### Setting Pod's affinity

This chart allows you to set your custom affinity using the `XXX.affinity` paremeter(s). Find more information about Pod's affinity in the [kubernetes documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/assign-pod-node/#affinity-and-anti-affinity).

As an alternative, you can use of the preset configurations for pod affinity, pod anti-affinity, and node affinity available at the [bitnami/common](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/common#affinities) chart. To do so, set the `XXX.podAffinityPreset`, `XXX.podAntiAffinityPreset`, or `XXX.nodeAffinityPreset` parameters.

## Troubleshooting

Find more information about how to deal with common errors related to Bitnami's Helm charts in [this troubleshooting guide](https://docs.bitnami.com/general/how-to/troubleshoot-helm-chart-issues).

## Upgrading

It's necessary to specify the existing passwords while performing a upgrade to ensure the secrets are not updated with invalid randomly generated passwords. Remember to specify the existing values of the `postgresql.password` and `postgresql.repmgrPassword` parameters when upgrading the chart:

```console
helm upgrade my-release oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/postgresql-ha \
    --set postgresql.password=[POSTGRES_PASSWORD] \
    --set postgresql.repmgrPassword=[REPMGR_PASSWORD]
```

> Note: you need to substitute the placeholders *[POSTGRES_PASSWORD]*, and *[REPMGR_PASSWORD]* with the values obtained from instructions in the installation notes.
> Note: As general rule, it is always wise to do a backup before the upgrading procedures.

### To 10.0.0

This major version changes the default PostgreSQL image from 14.x to 15.x. Follow the [official instructions](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/upgrading.html) to upgrade to 15.x.

### To 9.0.0

This chart major version updates the PostgreSQL image's version to the latest major, `v14`, as well as standarizes the templates and values. These changes can be sumarised in the following:

- Image parameters that used `imageNameImage` are now under `imageName.image`
- `containerPort` parameters are now found by `containerPorts.xxxx`
- `service.port` parameters are now found by `service.ports.xxxx`
- `imageName.securityContext` parameters are now under `imageName.podSecurityContext`
- `serviceAccount.enabled` parameter has been renamed to `serviceAccount.create`
- `postgresql.updateStrategyType` parameter has been renamed to `postgresql.updateStrategy.type`
- Added the `pgpool.authenticationMethod` parameter. Use "md5" for older PSQL versions and the default value of "scram-sha-256" when using PSQL > v14.

> Note: Keep in mind you will find an error such as the one below when upgrading since the new chart major version also bumps the application version. To workaround this issue you need to upgrade the database, please refer to the [official PostgreSQL documentation](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/upgrading.html) for more information about this.

```log

```

### To 8.0.0

A new major version of repmgr (5.3) was included. To upgrade to this major version, it's necessary to upgrade the repmgr extension installed on the database. To do so, follow the steps below:

- Reduce your PostgreSQL setup to one replica (primary node) and upgrade to `8.0.0`, enabling the repmgr extension upgrade:

```console
helm upgrade my-release --version 8.0.0 oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/postgresql-ha \
    --set postgresql.password=[POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD] \
    --set postgresql.repmgrPassword=[REPMGR_PASSWORD] \
    --set postgresql.replicaCount=1 \
    --set postgresql.upgradeRepmgrExtension=true
```

- Scale your PostgreSQL setup to the original number of replicas:

```console
helm upgrade my-release --version 8.0.0 oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/postgresql-ha \
    --set postgresql.password=[POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD] \
    --set postgresql.repmgrPassword=[REPMGR_PASSWORD] \
    --set postgresql.replicaCount=[NUMBER_OF_REPLICAS]
```

> Note: you need to substitute the placeholders *[POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD]*, and *[REPMGR_PASSWORD]* with the values obtained from instructions in the installation notes.

### To 6.4.0

Support for adding custom configuration files or initialization scripts by placing them under the "files" directory in the working directory was removed. This functionality was very confusing for users since they do not usually clone the repo nor they fetch the charts to their working directories.
As an alternative to this feature, users can still use the equivalent parameters available in the `values.yaml` to load their custom configuration & scripts.

### To 6.0.0

[On November 13, 2020, Helm v2 support was formally finished](https://github.com/helm/charts#status-of-the-project), this major version is the result of the required changes applied to the Helm Chart to be able to incorporate the different features added in Helm v3 and to be consistent with the Helm project itself regarding the Helm v2 EOL.

#### What changes were introduced in this major version?

- Previous versions of this Helm Chart use `apiVersion: v1` (installable by both Helm 2 and 3), this Helm Chart was updated to `apiVersion: v2` (installable by Helm 3 only). [Here](https://helm.sh/docs/topics/charts/#the-apiversion-field) you can find more information about the `apiVersion` field.
- Move dependency information from the *requirements.yaml* to the *Chart.yaml*
- After running `helm dependency update`, a *Chart.lock* file is generated containing the same structure used in the previous *requirements.lock*
- The different fields present in the *Chart.yaml* file has been ordered alphabetically in a homogeneous way for all the Bitnami Helm Charts

#### Considerations when upgrading to this version

- If you want to upgrade to this version from a previous one installed with Helm v3, you shouldn't face any issues
- If you want to upgrade to this version using Helm v2, this scenario is not supported as this version doesn't support Helm v2 anymore
- If you installed the previous version with Helm v2 and wants to upgrade to this version with Helm v3, please refer to the [official Helm documentation](https://helm.sh/docs/topics/v2_v3_migration/#migration-use-cases) about migrating from Helm v2 to v3

### To 5.2.0

A new  version of repmgr (5.2.0) was included. To upgrade to this version, it's necessary to upgrade the repmgr extension installed on the database. To do so, follow the steps below:

- Reduce your PostgreSQL setup to one replica (primary node) and upgrade to `5.2.0`, enabling the repmgr extension upgrade:

```console
helm upgrade my-release --version 5.2.0 oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/postgresql-ha \
    --set postgresql.password=[POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD] \
    --set postgresql.repmgrPassword=[REPMGR_PASSWORD] \
    --set postgresql.replicaCount=1 \
    --set postgresql.upgradeRepmgrExtension=true
```

- Scale your PostgreSQL setup to the original number of replicas:

```console
helm upgrade my-release --version 5.2.0 oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/postgresql-ha \
    --set postgresql.password=[POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD] \
    --set postgresql.repmgrPassword=[REPMGR_PASSWORD] \
    --set postgresql.replicaCount=[NUMBER_OF_REPLICAS]
```

> Note: you need to substitute the placeholders *[POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD]*, and *[REPMGR_PASSWORD]* with the values obtained from instructions in the installation notes (`helm get notes RELEASE_NAME`).

### To 5.0.0

This release uses parallel deployment for the postgresql statefullset. This should fix the issues related to not being able to restart the cluster under some contions where the master node is not longer node `-0`.
This version is next major version to v3.x.y

- To upgrade to this version you will need to delete the deployment, keep the PVCs and launch a new deployment keeping the deployment name.

```console
$ # e.g. Previous deployment v3.9.1
helm install my-release \
    --set postgresql.password=[POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD] \
    --set postgresql.repmgrPassword=[REPMGR_PASSWORD] \
    oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/postgresql-ha --version 3.9.1

$ # Update repository information
helm repo update

$ # upgrade to v5.0.0
helm delete my-release
helm install my-release \
    --set postgresql.password=[POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD] \
    --set postgresql.repmgrPassword=[REPMGR_PASSWORD] \
    oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/postgresql-ha --version 5.0.0
```

### To 4.0.x

Due to an error handling the version numbers these versions are actually part of the 3.x versions and not a new major version.

### To 3.0.0

A new major version of repmgr (5.1.0) was included. To upgrade to this major version, it's necessary to upgrade the repmgr extension installed on the database. To do so, follow the steps below:

- Reduce your PostgreSQL setup to one replica (primary node) and upgrade to `3.0.0`, enabling the repmgr extension upgrade:

```console
helm upgrade my-release --version 3.0.0 oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/postgresql-ha \
    --set postgresql.password=[POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD] \
    --set postgresql.repmgrPassword=[REPMGR_PASSWORD] \
    --set postgresql.replicaCount=1 \
    --set postgresql.upgradeRepmgrExtension=true
```

- Scale your PostgreSQL setup to the original number of replicas:

```console
helm upgrade my-release --version 3.0.0 oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/postgresql-ha \
    --set postgresql.password=[POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD] \
    --set postgresql.repmgrPassword=[REPMGR_PASSWORD] \
    --set postgresql.replicaCount=[NUMBER_OF_REPLICAS]
```

> Note: you need to substitute the placeholders *[POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD]*, and *[REPMGR_PASSWORD]* with the values obtained from instructions in the installation notes.

### To 2.0.0

The [Bitnami Pgpool](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/tree/main/bitnami/pgpool) image was migrated to a "non-root" user approach. Previously the container ran as the `root` user and the Pgpool daemon was started as the `pgpool` user. From now on, both the container and the Pgpool daemon run as user `1001`. You can revert this behavior by setting the parameters `pgpool.containerSecurityContext.runAsUser`, and `pgpool.securityContext.fsGroup` to `0`.

Consequences:

- No backwards compatibility issues are expected since all the data is at PostgreSQL pods, and Pgpool uses a deployment without persistence. Therefore, upgrades should work smoothly from `1.x.x` versions.
- Environment variables related to LDAP configuration were renamed removing the `PGPOOL_` prefix. For instance, to indicate the LDAP URI to use, you must set `LDAP_URI` instead of `PGPOOL_LDAP_URI`

### To 1.0.0

A new major version of repmgr (5.0.0) was included. To upgrade to this major version, it's necessary to upgrade the repmgr extension installed on the database. To do so, follow the steps below:

- Reduce your PostgreSQL setup to one replica (primary node) and upgrade to `1.0.0`, enabling the repmgr extension upgrade:

```console
helm upgrade my-release --version 1.0.0 oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/postgresql-ha \
    --set postgresql.password=[POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD] \
    --set postgresql.repmgrPassword=[REPMGR_PASSWORD] \
    --set postgresql.replicaCount=1 \
    --set postgresql.upgradeRepmgrExtension=true
```

- Scale your PostgreSQL setup to the original number of replicas:

```console
helm upgrade my-release --version 1.0.0 oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/postgresql-ha \
    --set postgresql.password=[POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD] \
    --set postgresql.repmgrPassword=[REPMGR_PASSWORD] \
    --set postgresql.replicaCount=[NUMBER_OF_REPLICAS]
```

> Note: you need to substitute the placeholders *[POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD]*, and *[REPMGR_PASSWORD]* with the values obtained from instructions in the installation notes.

### To 0.4.0

In this version, the chart will use PostgreSQL-Repmgr container images with the Postgis extension included. The version used in Postgresql version 10, 11 and 12 is Postgis 2.5, and in Postgresql 9.6 is Postgis 2.3. Postgis has been compiled with the following dependencies:

- protobuf
- protobuf-c
- json-c
- geos
- proj
- gdal
