This file is used to list changes made in each version of the postgresql cookbook.
-
Add custom resources for:
postgresql_client_install
postgresql_server_install
postgresql_repository
postgresql_pg_gem
-
Deprecate recipes:
apt_pgdg_postgresql
config_initdb
config_pgtune
contrib
ruby
yum_pgdg_postgresql
-
Remove deprecated tests
- Fix pg gem installation on non-omnibus chef runs
- Resolve resource cloning deprecation warnings in the ruby recipe
- Fix issues resolving the timezone on CentOS 7 and probably other distros
- Test with Delivery local instead of Rake
- Fix a method name conflict that caused errors if Chef Sugar was also being used on the run list
- Revert a previous PR that added support for Postgresql 9.6 as it introduced incorrect configuration values
- Added Fedora 25 support for pgdg packages
- Added RHEL 5 support for Postgresql 9.4 pgdg packages
- Removed testing for RHEL 5 and Ubuntu 12.04 as they are scheduled for EoL in the near future
- Improvements to Test Kitchen testing to allow more extensive testing in Travis CI
- Fixed the client recipe on Fedora
- Added Inspec tests for client installs
- Fix systemd unit file template
- This cookbook now requires Chef 12.1 or later
- Removed the dependency on the apt cookbook as this functionality is built into modern chef client releases
- Added a new custom resource for installing extensions. This acts as a replacement for the contrib recipe with minimal backwards compatibility. You can now install / remove extensions into any database. This adds the compat_resource cookbook dependency so we can continue to support Chef 12.1-12.4, which lack custom resource support.
- The unused get_result_orig helper has been removed. If you utilized this you'll want to move it to your own wrapper cookbook
- Updates for compatibility with Postgresql 9.5 and 9.6
- Fixed client package installation on openSUSE Leap 42.2
- ca-certificates recipe has been deprecated. If ca-certificates package needs to be upgraded the user should do so prior to including this recipe. Package upgrades in community cookbooks are generally a bad idea as this bring in updated packages to production systems. The recipe currently warns if used and will be removed with the next major cookbook release.
- Fixed RHEL platform detection in the Ruby recipe
- systemd fixes for RHEL systems
- Fix systemd service file include when using pgdg packages
- Package installation now uses multi-package installs to speed up converge times
- Added integration testing in Travis of the client recipe using a new test cookbook. This will be expanded in the future to cover server installation as well
- Expanded the specs to test converges on multiple platforms
- Updated contacts and links to point to Sous Chefs now
- Added a Code of Conduct (the Chef CoC)
- Removed duplicate platforms in the metadata
- Fix Chef runs with local mode in the server recipe
- Fix the ruby recipe to not fail when you specify enabling both the apt and yum repos for mixed distro environments
- Set the postgresql data directory to 700 permissions
- Added node['postgresql']['pg_gem']['version'] to specify the version of the pg gem to install
- Cookstyle fixes for the latest cookstyle release
- Removed test deps from the Gemfile. Rely on ChefDK for base testing deps instead
- Maintenance of this cookbook has been migrated from Heavy Water to Sous Chefs - https://sous-chefs.org/
- Add support for Chef-Zero (local mode)
- Don't hardcode the UID / GID on RHEL/Amazon/Suse platforms
- Add PGDG yum RPMs for 9.5 / 9.6

- Switched from rubocop to cookstyle and fix all warnings
- Removed minitests and the minitest handler
- Added support for opensuse / opensuseleap
- Added support for Fedora 23/24
- Added a chefignore file to limit the files uploaded to the chef server
- Updated Test Kitchen config to test on modern platform releases

- Avoid installing packages included in build-essential twice in the ruby recipe
- Require at least build-essential 2.0
- Don't cleanup the old PPA files in the apt_pgdg_postgresql recipe anymore. These should be long gone everywhere
- Remove logic in the apt_pgdg_postgresql recipe that made Chef fail when new distro releases came out

-
Clean up of syntax in many places as result of adding and evaluating Rubocop
-
Updates to test-kitchen.yml
-
added additional attribute for people who are importing pgdg packages for internal repositories
default['postgresql']['use_pgdg_packages'] = false
WARNING: Please read carefully through the stated changes, as they probably will break your current setup and can result in duplicate postgresql versions being installed, configuration corruption and data loss! This list might not be complete, so be careful when using the 4.x version and make sure to test it extensively before production use!
When in doubt, put the following in your Berksfile
until you are ready to upgrade:
cookbook 'postgresql', '~> 3.4.0'
- Potential breaking change: Restructured default attributes to avoid compile time deriving other attribute values from value of the
node[‘postgresql’][‘version’]
(#313, #302, #295, #288, #280, #261, #260, #254, #248, #217, #214, #167, #143). If you specify a custom postgresql version, make sure to adapt the following attributes as well:
default['postgresql']['dir'] = "/etc/postgresql/#{node['postgresql']['version']}/main"
default['postgresql']['client']['packages'] = [ "postgresql-client-#{node['postgresql']['version']}", 'libpq-dev' ]
default['postgresql']['server']['packages'] = [ "postgresql-#{node['postgresql']['version']}" ]
default['postgresql']['contrib']['packages'] = [ "postgresql-contrib-#{node['postgresql']['version']}" ]
- Potential breaking change: SSL configuration parameters. Due to the new structuring, make sure you set all SSL attributes to
override
when specifying them in a cookbook:
override['postgresql']['config']['ssl'] = true
override['postgresql']['config']['ssl_cert_file'] = "/path/to/cert.crt"
override['postgresql']['config']['ssl_key_file'] = "/path/to/cert.key"
override['postgresql']['config']['ssl_ciphers'] = "<my cipher suite>"
- Potential breaking change: Some node attributes are now persistet in your node configuration. This affects the following attributes:
"config": {
"data_directory": "/var/lib/postgresql/9.4/main",
"hba_file": "/etc/postgresql/9.4/main/pg_hba.conf",
"ident_file": "/etc/postgresql/9.4/main/pg_ident.conf",
"external_pid_file": "/var/run/postgresql/9.4-main.pid",
"unix_socket_directories": "/var/run/postgresql",
"ssl_cert_file": "/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem",
"ssl_key_file": "/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key"
}
- Potential breaking change: Parsing of attributes from node/ environment configuration. It has been reported that setting the
node['postgresql']['client']['packages']
attribute in a cookbook might result in the default version of the postgresql client package being installed alongside the required version. This might affect the server packages as well. - Correct issues which caused the inability to override installation version defaults
- Correct issues which caused configuration file entries with miss matching version numbers and incorrect file system paths being defined
- Remove method pgdgrepo_rpm_info compile time use of derived attributes case many issues
- Use correct directory path and check for the correct not_if condition to determine if the database has been initialized
- Ensure that correct packages are installed in all scenarios where pg gem is compiled
- Fix errors in configuration files for unix_socket_directory and unix_socket_directories
- Updates to test-kitchen suite configuration
- Added more grey hair to my beard
- Corrections to address repositories signed with newer certificates that some distributions have in their default ca-certificates package
- Updates to more accurately determine distributions service init systems adds better support for systemd systems
- Correct how version attribute is evaluated in certain places
- test-kitchen suite configuration corrections

- Use more optimistic openssl version constraint
- Add Postgresql 9.4 package sources for RHEL platforms
- Update testing infrastructure to address bit rot
- Revert #251, a change which caused the postgresql service to restart every Chef run.
- node.save could better not be run on every chef run since it causes node.default attributes stored to the node objects to differ during a chef run and when
- Missing attribute in docs for yum_pgdg_postgresql
- restart postgres service immediately on config change
- Run restart command right away on the postgresql service.

Important note for this release
This version no longer installs Ruby bindings in the client recipe by default. Use the ruby recipe if you'd like the RubyGem. If you'd like packages for your distribution, use them in your application's specific cookbook/recipe, or modify the client packages attribute.
