citus-postgis

Citus-postgis is a PostgreSQL-based distributed RDBMS based on this repository. For more information, see the Citus data and the PostGIS webites. .

Load pre-built Docker image

We provide a pre built docker image in this repository.

  1. Login to github's docker.pkg:
docker login docker.pkg.github.com -u  "username" -p  "token"

Note: You need a github developer token. 2. Pull image:

docker pull docker.pkg.github.com/meteointelligence/citus-postgis/citus-postgis
  1. [Optional] Tag image:
docker tag docker.pkg.github.com/meteointelligence/citus-postgis/citus-postgis citus-postgis 

Build

If you do not want to use github pre-built docker image you can build image from this project: Go into the project directory and run:

docker build -t "citus-postgis" .

Usage

We recommend the following usage:

Default settings:

docker run --name citus_standalone -p 5432:5432 citusdata/citus

Specified User:

docker run --rm --name pg-docker -e PGUSER=<user> -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=<pwd> -d -p 5432:5432 citusdata/citus:pg12 

You should now be able to connect to 127.0.0.1 on port 5432 using e.g. psql to run a few commands (see the Citus documentation for more information). As with the PostgreSQL image, the default PGDATA directory will be mounted as a volume, so it will persist between restarts of the container.

Enable postgis

PostGIS is an extension you have to enable to each database you want to use it in.

  1. Create your database
  2. Log in to your database and activate PostGIS:
CREATE EXTENSION postgis; 

For more details, check out the PostGIS documentation.

Docker Compose

The included docker-compose.yml file provides an easy way to get started with a Citus cluster, complete with multiple workers. Just copy it to your current directory and run:

docker-compose -p citus up

# Creating network "citus_default" with the default driver
# Creating citus_worker_1
# Creating citus_master
# Creating citus_config
# Attaching to citus_worker_1, citus_master, citus_config
# worker_1    | The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres".
# worker_1    | This user must also own the server process.
# ...

That’s it! As with the standalone mode, you’ll want to find your docker-machine ip if you’re using that technology, otherwise, just connect locally to 5432. By default, you’ll only have one worker:

SELECT master_get_active_worker_nodes();

--  master_get_active_worker_nodes
-- --------------------------------
--  (citus_worker_1,5432)
-- (1 row)

But you can add more workers at will using docker-compose scale in another tab. For instance, to bring your worker count to five…

docker-compose -p citus scale worker=5

# Creating and starting 2 ... done
# Creating and starting 3 ... done
# Creating and starting 4 ... done
# Creating and starting 5 ... done
SELECT master_get_active_worker_nodes();

--  master_get_active_worker_nodes
-- --------------------------------
--  (citus_worker_5,5432)
--  (citus_worker_1,5432)
--  (citus_worker_3,5432)
--  (citus_worker_2,5432)
--  (citus_worker_4,5432)
-- (5 rows)

If you inspect the configuration file, you’ll find that there is a container that is neither a master nor worker node: citus_config. It simply listens for new containers tagged with the worker role, then adds them to the config file in a volume shared with the master node. If new nodes have appeared, it calls master_initialize_node_metadata against the master to repopulate the node table. See Citus’ [workerlist-gen][workerlist-gen] repo for more details.

You can stop your cluster with docker-compose -p citus down.
