Hello friends
I have created a scrip u just need to u just need to copy paste it and change the permission to be executable and let the script run answer the question asked by script and
you can have a openerp on your system with different names like
openerp-server,nick-server,navneet-server etc .

Installing Pfsense
Install Pfsense on any old Pc having two network cards (1 for LAN and other for WAN)
1. Download the Pfsense CD from the pfsense website and burn it on the CD/DVD
2. Put the CD in CDROM and boot the computer using CD and you will get something like this.
let it boot in the default mode and it will ask you for the interfaces provide the interfaces for WAN and LAN and any other optional interface if you have or required.
Then connect the LAN interface to your Laptop or your Desktop which you are using and enter the ipaddress of LAN interface which youhave enter by default its 192.168.1.1
Enter the Ip address in the browser and a setup wizard came and complete the wizard
Enter the Login Details as
User :admin
Password :Pfsense
Your Firewall is all set for home use
In the Next part i will tell you about the bandwidth spiting and other cool stuff about the Pfsense.

Postgresql Replication part2
Further Testing
Quering recovery process
If you have a live database that processes a lot of data it may
take some time for the replication server to “catch up” There are a few ways to see where it is in the process.
From the slave database server log in as root and run the
following command
> ps -AF | grep post
|
Here are two more ways to query the database to see what WAL
file it is working on .
From the Master database you can run the following command
> psql -c "SELECT
pg_current_xlog_location()"
|
Which returns something like this
So how do you read this?
If you look in the pg_xlog folder on the main server you would
see files named like this
0000000100000E8C00000095
0000000100000E8C00000096
0000000100000E8C00000097
0000000100000E8C00000098
0000000100000E8C00000099
0000000100000E8C0000009A
Now lets deconstruct the E8C/987975C0
E8C/987975C0
0000000100000E8C00000098
That is how the numbers line up and the rest is a HEX offset
within the file (Where within the file it is reading)
Now from the Slave database you can run the following command.
> psql -c "SELECT
pg_last_xlog_replay_location()"
|
Which returns something like this
Primary stop/start
As some further testing I stopped the primary database and
started it back up after a few minutes. (I also stopped and
restarted my python program)
>
sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql stop
>
sleep 120
>
sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql start
>
./insertDB.py
|
The replication database had no problem with this
Replication stop/start
From the replication server I stopped and restarted the postgres
server.
>
sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql stop
>
sleep 240
>
sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql start
|
No problem with this either
Test Delete from Replication
The Replication server only has read access, let’s try and
delete.
From the database on the replication server try and run this
>
\c nand
>
delete from data;
|
Change the Replication server
to a primary server
Warning do not do this in a live system!!! I just did this to
make sure it works…
The recover.conf file defined /home/postgres/failover as the
trigger_file. Create a file here and see if it stops being a
replication server.
Run the following commands
>
sudo mkdir -p /home/postgres
>
touch /home/postgres/failover
|
Now when I log into the database from the replication server and
run the following commands.
>
\c nand
>
select count(*) from data;
|
I see that it is no longer getting fed from the primary database
server.
And I can run the following command
>
delete from data;
|
And it can now write to the database.
Also when this occurs recovery.conf was renamed to
recovery.done.
Now that the Replication server has become a Primary server you
can’t easily switch it back to a Replication server. Which is it should
be!

Postgresql 9.1 Streaming replication on ubuntu 12.04 part 1
Setting
up PostgreSQL Replication
I have a need to set up a PostgreSQL Replication
Database. In Postgres 9.0+ they have the ability to have a
read only replicated database that mirrors the live database, it can lag
slightly behind the live database (although in my simple test it was spot
on). The Replication DB can be read from but not written to. In my
particular case I just want to use it as a failover DB that can be brought up
as a live DB if ever needed.
Here is set up. I have two Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit servers
with postgresl 9.1 installed. One of these servers will be the primary
(master) PostgreSQL server and the other will be the replication (slave)
postgres server.
Set up a test Database :
To do a full test I am going to log into my PRIMARY server and
create a new database. The purpose of the database is for testing. Useful
in the last phase.
Log
into the DB
> sudo su postgres
> psql
-d postgres -U postgres
|
Create
a test user
>
CREATE USER navneet WITH PASSWORD ‘rathi’;
|
Create
the Database
>
CREATE DATBASE nanddb;
|
Make sure it was created by running \l
Grant navneet privileges to this database
>
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE nand to navneet;
|
Now let’s test it quit out of postgres and try
>
\q
>
psql -d nand -U navneet
|
And I get an error
The authentication is
peer not (md5/trust)
I am trying to log in as navneet but I am logged in as the
postgres user. It’s a setting in “/etc/postgresql/9.1/main/pg_hba.conf “. I
failed to edit
Edit the file
>
sudo vi /etc/postgresql/9.1/main/pg_hba.conf
|
Change
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local
all
all
peer
|
To
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local
all
all
trust
|
It will allow all local user to login without password .if you
try to login from outside it will ask for password if you create a ssh tunnel
no password is needed.
And restart PostgreSQL to take the effect of new settings.
>
sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql restart
or > service postgresql restart
|
And then log back in
>
psql -U navneet nand
|
This time it worked!
Now connect to the database.
>
\c nand
|
Create a simple table that I can send updates to. The
purpose of this table is to test the set-up of the replication server.
The live server should be able to continue getting updates while the
replication server is being set up, then it will “catch up”
>
CREATE TABLE data(
>
id serial primary key not null,
>
time timestamp not null default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
>
number integer not null
> );
|
This creates a table with a primary key that auto increments,
and a time field which will default to the current_timestamp
Run the following command to confirm the table has been created
and is working as intended.
> \dt
>
select * from data;
>
INSERT INTO data (number)
>
VALUES (34);
>
select * from data;
|
OK now that I have set up I need to create a simple program to
insert data into this table on some kind of loop.
Writing a simple python program
First I had to install some libraries that python depends on for
talking to PostgreSQL
>
sudo apt-get install python-psycopg2
>
vi insertDB.py
|
Here is my python code
#!/usr/bin/python
#
#
# Simple Script to insert data
#
import psycopg2
import sys
import time
con = None
try:
# First get the current maximum
con = psycopg2.connect(database='nand',
user='navneet', password='rathi')
cur = con.cursor()
cur.execute('select MAX(number) from data')
x = cur.fetchone()[0]
if x is None:
x = 0
while (True):
x = x + 1
cur.execute('INSERT
INTO data(number) VALUES (' + str(x) + ')')
con.commit()
print 'inserting '
+ str(x)
time.sleep(1)
except psycopg2.DatabaseError, e:
print 'Error %s' % e
sys.exit(1)
finally:
if con:
con.close()
|
It will connect, locally to my PostgreSQL database and query the
data table to find the largest integer in the number field. The program
then increments it by one and inserts the new values (always pausing 1 second
and incrementing by 1).
The idea is this is constantly adding data to the database, so
that I can confirm that the replication I create works correctly.
WAL (write ahead log) Files
Postgres uses write ahead logging
“WAL's
central concept is that changes to data files (where tables and indexes reside)
must be written only after those changes have been logged, that is, after log
records describing the changes have been flushed to permanent storage.”
First let’s go find the WAL files. /etc/postgresql/9.1/main/postgresql.conf
file under the data_directory field. In 9.1 its typically /var/lib/postgresql/9.1/main
At any rate the WAL files are located in the pg_xlog folder within the DB
folder
>
cd /var/lib/postgresql/9.1/main/pg_xlog
>
ls -alh
|
Here you should see several files that are 16MiB in size with
numbers for names.
These are the WAL files. In the /etc/postgresql/9.1/main/postgresql.conf file there is a wal_keep_segments field which is typically set to 0. If it is set to 0 it means that at least 0 WAL files must be kept in the queue. More typically are here as the DB needed. This setting must be increased to assure that the replication database has access to them.
Primary (Master) DB settings
First let’s set up the master DB to be able to allow
replications DBs to get the updates they need
postgresql.conf
First we need to edit /etc/postgresql/9.1/main/postgresql.conf
>
sudo vi /etc/postgresql/9.1/main/postgresql.conf
|
The following needs to be edited (the approx @line is to show
where the typical line number is for this setting)
@line 61
listen_addresses =
'*' # what IP
address(es) to listen on;
@line 155
wal_level =
hot_standby
# minimal, archive, or hot_standby
@line 198
max_wal_senders = 5
# max
number of walsender processes
@line 201
wal_keep_segments =
128 # in logfile segments,
16MB each;
|
Here is the “why” for each as best as I have researched.
listen_addresses =
'*'
Listen to any incoming connection.
wal_level = hot_standby
This must be set to archive or hot_standy . The default
minimal does not put enough information in the WAL files to truly reconstruct
the Database.
max_wal_senders =
5
Sets number of concurrent streaming backup connections.
I think you could get by with 1 if you only have 1 failover server; I just set
to 5 because all the other were doing it.
wal_keep_segments = 128
This will keep at a minimum 128
WAL files. At the default size of 16MiB that totals 2 GiB. This is
a lot but I want to make sure I do not lose anything on the transfer.
pga_hba.conf
Now edit /etc/postgresql/9.1/main/pga_hba.conf
>
sudo vi /etc/postgresql/9.1/main/pg_hba.conf
|
Add this line to the bottom
host replication
postgres 172.16.2.208/32
trust
|
This just says to trust the server at 172.16.2.208, which is my
replication server.
Replication Role (First check & do it if Required)
I made a mistake when I first did this I did not realize there
is a replication role in the database that must be designated.
When I simply tried to use the postgres user I got the following
error.
2012-04-21 08:26:01 MDT FATAL: could not connect to the
primary server: FATAL: must be replication role to start walsender
I am using the postgres user as the replication
user. To see what the postgres user has run the following command from
the postgres database.
>
\du
|
Here you can see that my postgres user does not have the
“Replication” Role.
So I added the role to my postgres user, most sites I found
suggest creating a new user that only handles replication. I
decided to just go with reusing the postgres user.
From the postgres database run this command
>
ALTER ROLE postgres WITH REPLICATION;
|
Now run the \du command again
>
\du postgres
|
And you should see this
Now it has the Replication role!
Restart the Primary database
From the command line
>
sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql restart or service postgresql
restart
|
After it has been restarted I kick off my python script.
>
sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql restart
|
I left it running in its own terminal
Then I logged into the Database and did a few quick checks to
make sure that data is being constantly loaded into the database.
>
psql -d nand –U navneet
|
Then from psql
>
select count(*) from data;
|
I ran this a few times to confirm its growing in size.
Copy the Database over to the Replication (Slave) server
My first go at this I screwed it up! . I thought I
could do a simple pg_dumpall from the primary server to the replication
server. I logged into the Replication server and ran these commands.
> sudo su postgres
> time pg_dumpall -h
172.16.2.207 -U postgres | psql -d postgres -U postgres
|
(I added the time command to see how long it runs)
And then after setting up the replication server and restarting
it (which I will get into later) the postgres would not start up and I got this
error.
FATAL: hot standby is not possible because wal_level was
not set to "hot_standby" on the master server
But I did set it! So what is going on?
So here is the correct way of doing it.
First shut off postgres on the replication server
>
sudo su /etc/init.d/postgresql stop
|
Next log into the primary server and run the following commands
>
sudo su postgres
>
psql -d postgres -U postgres
|
You are logged into the database
Now tell the database you are going to start a backup. You
can still keep using your database as you normally would, there will be no interruption
to incoming data.
> SELECT
pg_start_backup('mybackup_label', true);
|
From the command line copy your data directory folder from the
primary server to the replication server. In my case the data directory
is “/var/lib/postgresql/9.1/main/” (this is set in the postgresql.conf
file). I kept the data directory the same on both primary and replication
server.
Here is my command adjust it according to where you data directory
is located.
> time
scp -r /var/lib/postgresql/9.1/main/* root@172.16.2.208:/var/lib/postgresql/9.1/main/
|
After the database has been copied over run the following
command from the psql, this will say the backup is done on the master server.
> SELECT
pg_stop_backup();
|
I got this error. “NOTICE: WAL archiving is not
enabled; you must ensure that all required WAL segments are copied through
other means to complete the backup”
I did not set up WAL archiving but I did set up
wal_keep_segments, I think this is only a problem if you do not have enough wal
segments. I think I am OK. Let’s see…
Replication (Slave) DB server settings
Now that we have backed up the database to the slave/replication
database, we need to change it to an actual replication database.
postgresql.conf
First we need to edit /etc/postgresql/9.1/main/postgresql.conf
>
sudo vi /etc/postgresql/9.1/main/postgresql.conf
|
The following needs to be edited (the @line is to show where the
typical line number is for this setting)
@line 59
listen_addresses =
'*' # what IP
address(es) to listen on;
@line 210
hot_standby =
on
# "on" allows queries during recovery
|
Here is the “why” for each as best as I have researched.
listen_addresses = '*'
Listen to any incoming connection.
hot_standy = on
Allows you to query, but not update the replication DB
recovery.conf
Now the recovery.conf file must be created. I am
using Ubuntu 12.04 with a postgres 9.1 .The recovery.conf file needs to be in
the data directory, as defined in postgresql.conf. In my case that is “/var/lib/postgresql/9.1/main/”
So I copied the /usr/share/postgresql/9.1/recovery.conf.sample
file to /var/lib/postgresql/9.1/main/recovery.conf and open it for editing.
>
cd /usr/share/postgresql/9.1/
>
cp
recovery.conf.sample /var/lib/postgresql/9.1/main/recovery.
>
sudo vi /database/postgresqldata/recovery.conf
|
The following needs to be edited (the @line is to show where the
typical line number is for this setting)
@line 108
standby_mode = on
@line 110
primary_conninfo ='host=172.16.2.209 port=5432
user=postgres'
@line 124
trigger_file = '/home/nrathi/failover'
|
Here is an explanation of each of these
standby_mode = on
Just sets the standby mode to on
primary_conninfo
All the information for the replication(slave) server to connect
to the primary (master) server.
trigger_file
if this file exists the server will stop being a replication
server and start being a primary server. It checks periodically for this
file.
Fix ownership of files. (be very careful the chown command fire
it as it is )
> sudo
chown -R postgres:postgres /var/lib/postgresql/9.1/main/
> sudo
chmod 700 /var/lib/postgresql/9.1/main/recovery.
|
Now start the postgres database on the replication (slave)
server
>
sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql start
|
Now log into the database
>
sudo su postgres
>
psql -d postgres –U postgres
|
Then from postgres I ran the following commands
>
\c nand
>
select count(*) from data;
>
select pg_last_xlog_receive_location();
|
And I can see that it is getting live data! So that is it
you now have a replication server.
