h1. Database

This documentation assumes that the Postgis package has been installed (see [[CSR_server#Database]]).

h2. Configure the server

h3. Allow connections from other hosts in the local network

Add in @/etc/postgresql/9.6/main/pg_hba.conf@:

<pre>
host all all 192.168.0.0/24 md5
</pre>

h2. Creation of the database

As @postgres@ user:

<pre>
createdb -E utf8 -T template0 avgis
</pre>

h2. Backups

h3. Primary

The database is backed up every day at midnight. The dump file is located in @/var/backups/postgres/@.

h3. Secondary

There are other backups (daily, weekly, monthly) thanks to Debian package @autopostgresqlbackup@), located (default) in @/var/lib/autopostgresqlbackup@.

h3. Tertiary (dom0) Secondary

The whole virtual machine is backed up by BackupNinja on the "dom0" controller, using:
- rdiff backups every day
- tar files on Saturdays.

See @/etc/backups.d@ on the dom0 (192.168.0.12).

h3. Remote Tertiary

TODO: remote backup.

h2. Restoration

If the VM is not shutdown properly, there's a chance that the database is corrupt, and needs to be restored from one of the backups.

After the restoration, restart gisaf:
<pre>
systemctl restart uwsgi.service
</pre>

h3. From primary backup

*Note*: the roles aren't restored with this method.

With user @postgres@:
<pre>
# Optionally, rename the corrupt database (selecting a name for a database like "avgis_c2")...
psql -c "ALTER DATABASE avgis RENAME TO avgis_c2;"
# ... or drop the existing database
psql -c "drop database avgis;"
# Create a new database:
createdb -E utf8 -T template0 avgis
# Restore the database
pg_restore -d avgis /var/backups/postgres/avgis.pg_dump
</pre>

h3. From secondary backup

@autopostgresqlbackup@ backs up the roles in @postgres_globals@.

<pre>
zcat /var/lib/autopostgresqlbackup/daily/postgres_globals/postgres_globals_2018-10-24_06h25m.Wednesday.sql.gz | psql
zcat /var/lib/autopostgresqlbackup/daily/avgis/avgis_2018-10-24_06h25m.Wednesday.sql.gz | psql

</pre>
