Chef wrapper cookbook to create Postgresql Master/Slave Streaming Replication server configuration - creates a master server and read-only slave system(s). This wrapper should work on all Debian and RHEL platform family OS's.
Cookbook works as a wrapper around the community Postgresql cookbook to allow for the creation of master/slave and master/multi-slave Postgresql systems.
The cookbook utilizes two recipes depending on the server's role.
pg_master.rb : sets up a master Postgresql server and creates a replicant users
for along with setting up the authorization within the pg_hba.conf file.
pg_slave.rb : sets up a slave Postgresql streaming slave replication server pointing to the master node
definded within attributes. The slave servers are configured by default into read-only mode.
['pg-multi']['master'] : sets the IP address that defines the master node
['pg-multi']['slaves'] : is any array that defines the IP address(es) of
the slave node(s).
['pg-multi']['replication']['user'] : allows for the setting of a custom name for
the replication user, by default it is set to 'repl'.
['pg-multi']['replication']['password'] : allows for the setting of a custom password for the replication user.
