giessdenkiez.de DB provisioning

These are some scripts and tools to setup a Postgres DB and provision the needed tables for the giessdenkiez.de project.

Prerequisites

• Terraform (install using asdf)
• AWS public VPC with public subnets (yes we know. Not best practice. Show us how to improve this)
• Terraform Cloud Account

Setup

Follow the terraform AWS setup instructions to get your credentials right

git clone git@github.com:technologiestiftung/giessdenkiez-de-aws-rds-terraform.git
cd giessdenkiez-de-aws-rds-terraform/tf-rds-v2
asdf install
terraform login
terraform init
mv terraform.auto.tfvars.example terraform.auto.tfvars

Fill in all the variables in terraform.auto.tfvars.

Usage

cd tf-rds-v2
terraform apply

Now connect to your RDS DB and install Postgis using the script scripts/enable-postgis-on-aws.sql

Dump and Restore

To move your data from an existing DB to a new one do the following.

Hint!: This workflow uses docker to start a container that has psql, pg_dump and pg_restore installed. If you have a local install of these tools you should be able to skip the docker part. Be aware that it is only tested with the specific version of the tools that come with the postgres version used in the Dockerfile. (FROM postgres:11.10)

mv .env.sample .env
# edit the variables
docker compose up -d
docker ps
# get your container id
docker exec -it [CONTAINERIDHERE] /bin/zsh
#
#
# ----------------------------------------
# this is in a docker container session
cd scripts
# needs the following environment variables set
# they are in .env and loaded with docker compose
# SOURCE_HOST
# SOURCE_USER
# SOURCE_DBNAME

# will prompt for your source db password
./backup.sh
# needs the following environment variables set
# they are in .env and loaded with docker compose
# TARGET_HOST
# TARGET_USER
# TARGET_DBNAME

# will prompt for your target db pw
./restore.sh
# you might need to fiddle with postgis
