Socket Errors Upgrading from 15 to 16

[gav-fyi]

Hi, I've recently found this package which looks extremely promising for upgrading our development environments from Postgres 15 to Postgres 16.

I'm trying to attempt the one-shot upgrade of a large (~20GB) Postgres 15 databsse to 16, without success. I have attached the output of the command/logs below.

Command

docker run --name pgauto -it --rm -p 5432:5432 -v /var/run/postgresql:/var/run/postgresql --mount type=bind,source=/Users/gav/postgres_data/project,target=/var/lib/postgresql/data -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=redacted -e PGAUTO_ONESHOT=yes pgautoupgrade/pgautoupgrade:16-alpine

The output I get in the terminal is (reduced for brevity; let me know if you need earlier logs)

Ay assistance or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, that's a weird one I've not seen before.

Just to double check, there's no partitions anywhere running out of disk space or anything along those lines when the error occurs yeah?

Mostly asking that just in case, as a filled disk can cause all kinds of weird errors.

---

Note that I'm just about to hit the sack personally, and it looks like I've caught either the flu or Covid (for a 2nd time, ugh). So I might not be looking at any response here for a while.

Hopefully some of the other team members have ideas on what the cause and fix for this might be. 😄

[justinclift]

Ay assistance or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

If all else fails and you need to debug the problem, you can start the container with the environment variable PGAUTO_DEVEL=before defined, which will start the container (and leave it running) just before the pgautoupgrade script runs. (like is done here, if that helps)

If you do that, then you can exec into the container and manually run the upgrade script commands one (or a few) at a time until you reach the point where it's going wrong/breaking.

With doing that, it should be feasible to figure out exactly why it's breaking, then figure out a fix.

Which could then be applied to the repo here for everyone to benefit from. That's the theory anyway. 😄

If you're already pretty familiar with shell scripting then it might be a useful option. 😄

[gav-fyi]

There are some great pointers there, thank you very much. I'll take a look on Monday when I'm back in the office, and will be sure to update you on any progress made.

Thanks for the quick reply, and I hope you start to feel better soon.

[gav-fyi]

The failure was very much with the pg_upgrade command, so had to dig a little deeper.

I found a solution on a similar library: tianon/docker-postgres-upgrade#83 (comment)

The issue was due to M-chip Macs not supporting the Unix socket filetype, so I had to update the pg_upgrade command to be

/usr/local/bin/pg_upgrade --username="${POSTGRES_USER}" --link -d "${OLD}" -D "${NEW}" -b "${OLDPATH}/bin" -B /usr/local/bin --socketdir="/var/run/postgresql"

Note: the addition of --socketdir="/var/run/postgresql"

The command then ran fine. Thanks for the pointers. I now have other errors (to do with my DB), but this issue is resolved.

I'll leave it open for now though, as I'm not sure if you'd want to include something in the main README for this, or a way to specify the --socketdir via environment variables.

[justinclift]

Oh wow, that's totally unexpected. I had no idea that limitation existed.

It sounds like we could include your --socketdir approach by default too, without negatively affecting others. Will need to do some investigation and see how that plays out. 😄

[justinclift]

Initial testing on my desktop system here (Debian 12 x86_64) looks like it works fine too, so I've just thrown together a PR to add the --socketdir option to all of the docker images: #33

[justinclift]

k, that PR has been merged. Once the automatic GitHub Actions rebuild of the docker images happens then you should be fine to use them without worrying about this particular issue again.

In theory. 😉

[gav-fyi]

Amazing. Thanks for the quick turnaround. 👍🏻

[justinclift]

No worries at all. Thanks for taking the time to investigate the root cause and figure out a solid solution. 😄

[gav-fyi]

I can confirm that the latest image from DockerHub works perfectly. 👍🏻

Thanks again.

[miroslavkovac]

I am having exactly the same issues as mentioned in this issue even after the addition of --socketdir="/var/run/postgresql".

I am not sure if the fact that I am running on arm based Amazon Linux 2023 has anything to do with the issue still being present, but just wanted to mention it.

Also the data is actually coming from TimescaleDB, but I understand that the underlying storage format is the same as with vanilla PostgreSQL.

Here is the command I was running:

docker run --rm -it \
    --mount type=bind,source=/db,target=/var/lib/postgresql/data \
    -e POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=trust \
    -e POSTGRES_INITDB_ARGS="--encoding=UTF8" \
    -e PGAUTO_ONESHOT=yes \
    pgautoupgrade/pgautoupgrade:16-alpine

And this is the output I keep getting:

Thank you very much for the help.

[justinclift]

Oh. That kind of sounds like your PostgreSQL configuration file (postgresql.conf) might be configuring things to not use a socket at all in some way.

Are you ok to paste that configuration file here for us to look over?

[miroslavkovac]

Sure, we are using just the default timescale/timescaledb-ha and ran timescaledb-tune. Here is the postgresql.conf content.

I also noted that the data (including config file) is in /home/postgres/pgdata/data and not in /var/lib/postgresql/data for some reason, not sure if that plays a role here.

# -----------------------------
# PostgreSQL configuration file
# -----------------------------
#
# This file consists of lines of the form:
#
#   name = value
#
# (The "=" is optional.)  Whitespace may be used.  Comments are introduced with
# "#" anywhere on a line.  The complete list of parameter names and allowed
# values can be found in the PostgreSQL documentation.
#
# The commented-out settings shown in this file represent the default values.
# Re-commenting a setting is NOT sufficient to revert it to the default value;
# you need to reload the server.
#
# This file is read on server startup and when the server receives a SIGHUP
# signal.  If you edit the file on a running system, you have to SIGHUP the
# server for the changes to take effect, run "pg_ctl reload", or execute
# "SELECT pg_reload_conf()".  Some parameters, which are marked below,
# require a server shutdown and restart to take effect.
#
# Any parameter can also be given as a command-line option to the server, e.g.,
# "postgres -c log_connections=on".  Some parameters can be changed at run time
# with the "SET" SQL command.

Thanks @miroslavkovac. I can't look at this properly today (a whole bunch of higher priority tasks hit my inbox today), but should have time to sometime over the next few days. 😄

[miroslavkovac]

Hi @justinclift, have you had a chance to look into the logs? Any hints on what I can try or how I can help? Thank you very much for your efforts.

[justinclift]

Oh crap, I completely forgot about this. Um, I'll try and get to it tomorrow.

Ugh. Yesterday was a complete write off. I'll add this to today's ToDo list instead.
