WAL-G Cookbook

Installs and configures WAL-G using envdir to store configuration. Sets up a cron_d entry to perform base backups. You still need to configure Postgres manually/separately to archive WAL files.

(Tested on Debian/Ubuntu only - will probably break on other distributions.)

Tested on Ubuntu 16.04 extensively.

Attributes

• [:wal_g][:base_backup][:disabled] - Install wal-g but don't modify the postgres configuration or install the crontab - useful for restore-only environments.

• [:wal_g][:packages] - The packages needed by wal-g. Override if these are installed in your environment elsewhere.

• [:wal_g][:version] - Specify the version you want to install

• [:wal_g][:base_backup] - Specifies the time period to issue cron backups

• [:wal_g][:pgdata_dir] - Postgres data directory, override for your postgres version

Recipes

• default.rb - Installs wal-g
