Postgres Operator Configuration
===============================
Postgres operator is configured via a ConfigMap defined by the
`CONFIG_MAP_NAME` environment variable. Variable names are underscore-separated
words.
Available Configuration Parameters
----------------------------------
### General
* **etcd_host**
Etcd connection string for Patroni defined as `host:port`. Not required when
Patroni native Kubernetes support is used. The default is empty (use
Kubernetes-native DCS).
* **docker_image**
Spilo docker image for postgres instances. For production, don't rely on the
default image, as it might be not the most up-to-date one. Instead, build
your own Spilo image from the [github
repository](https://github.com/zalando/spilo).
* **workers**
number of working routines the operator spawns to process requests to
create/update/delete/sync clusters concurrently. The default is `4`.
* **max_instances**
operator will cap the number of instances in any managed postgres cluster up
to the value of this parameter. When `-1` is specified, no limits are applied.
The default is `-1`.
* **min_instances**
operator will run at least the number of instances for any given postgres
cluster equal to the value of this parameter. When `-1` is specified, no limits
are applied. The default is `-1`.
* **resync_period**
period between consecutive sync requests. The default is `5m`.
### Postgres users
* **super_username**
postgres `superuser` name to be created by `initdb`. The default is
`postgres`.
* **replication_username**
postgres username used for replication between instances. The default is
`standby`.
### Kubernetes resources
* **pod_service_account_name**
service account used by Patroni running on individual Pods to communicate
with the operator. Required even if native Kubernetes support in Patroni is
not used, because Patroni keeps pod labels in sync with the instance role.
The default is `operator`.
* **pod_service_account_definition**
The operator tries to create the pod Service Account in the namespace that
doesn't define such an account using the YAML definition provided by this
option. If not defined, a simple definition that contains only the name will
be used. The default is empty.
* **pod_terminate_grace_period**
Patroni pods are [terminated
forcefully](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/pod/#termination-of-pods)
after this timeout. The default is `5m`.
* **watched_namespace**
The operator watches for postgres objects in the given namespace. If not
specified, the value is taken from the operator namespace. A special `*`
value makes it watch all namespaces. The default is empty (watch the operator pod
namespace).
* **pdb_name_format**
defines the template for PDB (Pod Disruption Budget) names created by the
operator. The default is `postgres-{cluster}-pdb`, where `{cluster}` is
replaced by the cluster name. Only the `{cluster}` placeholders is allowed in
the template.
* **secret_name_template**
a template for the name of the database user secrets generated by the
operator. `{username}` is replaced with name of the secret, `{cluster}` with
the name of the cluster, `{tprkind}` with the kind of CRD (formerly known as
TPR) and `{tprgroup}` with the group of the CRD. No other placeholders are
allowed. The default is
`{username}.{cluster}.credentials.{tprkind}.{tprgroup}`.
* **oauth_token_secret_name**
a name of the secret containing the `OAuth2` token to pass to the teams API.
The default is `postgresql-operator`.
* **infrastructure_roles_secret_name**
name of the secret containing infrastructure roles names and passwords.
* **pod_role_label**
name of the label assigned to the postgres pods (and services/endpoints) by
the operator. The default is `spilo-role`.
* **cluster_labels**
list of `name:value` pairs for additional labels assigned to the cluster
objects. The default is `application:spilo`.
* **cluster_name_label**
name of the label assigned to Kubernetes objects created by the operator that
indicates which cluster a given object belongs to. The default is
`cluster-name`.
* **node_readiness_label**
a set of labels that a running and active node should possess to be
considered `ready`. The operator uses values of those labels to detect the
start of the Kubernetes cluster upgrade procedure and move master pods off
the nodes to be decommissioned. When the set is not empty, the operator also
assigns the `Affinity` clause to the postgres pods to be scheduled only on
`ready` nodes. The default is empty.
* **toleration**
a dictionary that should contain `key`, `operator`, `value` and
`effect` keys. In that case, the operator defines a pod toleration
according to the values of those keys. See [kubernetes
documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/taint-and-toleration/)
for details on taints and tolerations. The default is empty.
* **pod_environment_configmap**
a name of the ConfigMap with environment variables to populate on every pod.
Right now this ConfigMap is searched in the namespace of the postgres cluster.
All variables from that ConfigMap are injected to the pod's environment, on
conflicts they are overridden by the environment variables generated by the
operator. The default is empty.
### Kubernetes resource requests
* **default_cpu_request**
CPU request value for the postgres containers, unless overridden by
cluster-specific settings. The default is `100m`.
* **default_memory_request**
memory request value for the postgres containers, unless overridden by
cluster-specific settings. The default is `100Mi`.
* **default_cpu_limit**
CPU limits for the postgres containers, unless overridden by cluster-specific
settings. The default is `3`.
* **default_memory_limit**
memory limits for the postgres containers, unless overridden by cluster-specific
settings. The default is `1Gi`.
### Operator timeouts
* **resource_check_interval**
interval to wait between consecutive attempts to check for the presence of
some Kubernetes resource (i.e. `StatefulSet` or `PodDisruptionBudget`). The
default is `3s`.
* **resource_check_timeout**
timeout when waiting for the presence of a certain Kubernetes resource (i.e.
`StatefulSet` or `PodDisruptionBudget`) before declaring the operation
unsuccessful. The default is `10m`.
* **pod_label_wait_timeout**
timeout when waiting for the pod role and cluster labels. Bigger value gives
Patroni more time to start the instance; smaller makes the operator detect
possible issues faster. The default is `10m`.
* **pod_deletion_wait_timeout**
timeout when waiting for the pods to be deleted when removing the cluster or
recreating pods. The default is `10m`.
* **ready_wait_interval**
the interval between consecutive attempts waiting for the postgres CRD to be
created. The default is `5s`.
* **ready_wait_timeout**
the timeout for the complete postgres CRD creation. The default is `30s`.
### Load balancer related options
* **db_hosted_zone**
DNS zone for the cluster DNS name when the load balancer is configured for
the cluster. Only used when combined with
[external-dns](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/external-dns) and with
the cluster that has the load balancer enabled. The default is
`db.example.com`.
* **enable_master_load_balancer**
toggles service type load balancer pointing to the master pod of the cluster.
Can be overridden by individual cluster settings. The default is `true`.
* **enable_replica_load_balancer**
toggles service type load balancer pointing to the replica pod of the
cluster. Can be overridden by individual cluster settings. The default is
`false`.
* **master_dns_name_format** defines the DNS name string template for the
master load balancer cluster. The default is
`{cluster}.{team}.{hostedzone}`, where `{cluster}` is replaced by the cluster
name, `{team}` is replaced with the team name and `{hostedzone}` is replaced
with the hosted zone (the value of the `db_hosted_zone` parameter). No other
placeholders are allowed.
** **replica_dns_name_format** defines the DNS name string template for the
replica load balancer cluster. The default is
`{cluster}-repl.{team}.{hostedzone}`, where `{cluster}` is replaced by the
cluster name, `{team}` is replaced with the team name and `{hostedzone}` is
replaced with the hosted zone (the value of the `db_hosted_zone` parameter).
No other placeholders are allowed.
### AWS or GSC interaction
* **wal_s3_bucket**
S3 bucket to use for shipping WAL segments with WAL-E. A bucket has to be
present and accessible by Patroni managed pods. At the moment, supported
services by Spilo are S3 and GCS. The default is empty.
* **log_s3_bucket**
S3 bucket to use for shipping postgres daily logs. Works only with S3 on AWS.
The bucket has to be present and accessible by Patroni managed pods. At the
moment Spilo does not yet support this. The default is empty.
* **kube_iam_role**
