Database Server Role
Summary
The Fedora Server Product will provide a standard deployment mechanism for a Linux Database Server (powered by the postgresql project).
Owner
- Name: Stephen Gallagher, Kevin Fenzi and Truong Anh Tuan
- Email: server@lists.fedoraproject.org
- Release notes owner: Petr Bokoc pbokoc at redhat dot com
- Product: Server
- Responsible WG: Server WG
Current status
Detailed Description
The Fedora Server Product will be shipped with a role-deployment mechanism. One such role will be to act as a primary or replica Database Server for the Linux machines in the network.
This will be implemented by taking advantage of the postgresql project, packaging it up within the Server Role Framework and enabling it to be deployed through the mechanisms described in the Framework for Server Role Deployment Change Proposal.
Note that this role is a secondary target of the Server Working group.
Benefit to Fedora
The major advantage to Fedora is a vast simplification in the setup and deployment of a managed Linux network. With the Database Server Role, the user will be asked to provide a few very basic pieces of information about their network and the role deployment tools will do the rest of the work for them. With the Database Server in place, users will have a ready to use datastore without lengthy configuration.
Scope
- Proposal owners:
- Postgresql server and related tools need to be packaged appropriately for use with the Server Role Infrastructure.
- A D-BUS API plugin needs to be written and tested to support deployment and monitoring of the Database server.
- Other developers:
- None
- Release engineering:
N/A
- Policies and guidelines:
- Packaging guidelines for this Change should be inherited from the Framework for Server Role Deployment Change Proposal.
Upgrade/compatibility impact
This functionality will be designed not to interfere with existing deployments of postgresql.
How To Test
- What special hardware / data / etc. is needed (if any)?
- This Role should work on any Fedora Server installation.
- How do I prepare my system to test this change? What packages need to be installed, config files edited, etc.?
- Testing should be performed on a clean installation of Fedora Server, both through kickstart and interactive install.
- What specific actions do I perform to check that the change is working like it's supposed to?
- There will be a role-deployment tool provided, as well as possibly a Cockpit module, to deploy the Database Server Role. These tools should be run to do the initial deployment. Subsequent testing should be performed by remotely accessing the database.
- What are the expected results of those actions?
- A usable database server for whatever database application needs you have.
User Experience
Users will now be provided with an easy way to deploy a Database Server for their Linux environment. If they are using Cockpit, this will be presented to them with a simple GUI.
Dependencies
Individual parts of this Change may or may not be completed in time for Fedora 22. This may include a Cockpit graphical UI tool and an OpenLMI remote management tool.
Contingency Plan
- Contingency mechanism: Do not ship the Database Server role in Fedora 22.
- Contingency deadline: Beta
- Blocks release? No
- Blocks product? No
Documentation
Documentation has not yet been written, but we will be coordinating with the Fedora Documentation team.
