Could not access file "timescaledb": No such file or directory #63

Closed Dzeri96 closed 2 years ago

Dzeri96 commented 2 years ago

I'm trying to run the 11-to-12 image in order to upgrade a db being run from docker-compose like so:

timescaledb:
  image: timescale/timescaledb:1.7.4-pg11
  volumes:
      - timescale_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
  ports:
      - 5431:5432
  environment:
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: REDACTED
      POSTGRES_DB: timescale
  networks:
      - default

Unfortunately, I'm getting the following error:

Performing Consistency Checks
-----------------------------
Checking cluster versions                                   ok

*failure*
Consult the last few lines of "pg_upgrade_server.log" for
the probable cause of the failure.

connection to database failed: connection to server on socket "/var/lib/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.50432" failed: No such file or directory
    Is the server running locally and accepting connections on that socket?

could not connect to source postmaster started with the command:
"/usr/lib/postgresql/11/bin/pg_ctl" -w -l "pg_upgrade_server.log" -D "/var/lib/postgresql/11/data" -o "-p 50432 -b  -c listen_addresses='' -c unix_socket_permissions=0700 -c unix_socket_directories='/var/lib/postgresql'" start
Failure, exiting

Looking at pg_upgrade_server.log, I see these lines:

waiting for server to start....2022-09-09 14:37:25.959 UTC [82] FATAL:  could not access file "timescaledb": No such file or directory
2022-09-09 14:37:25.960 UTC [82] LOG:  database system is shut down

pg_ctl: could not start server

Any idea what's the cause and how to fix it?

Solved trough this issue. Turns out that if you have some plugins installed, you'll have to create a custom image with those plugins installed.

As a side-note, I really wish postgres' logging were better in this case. I had to run pg_ctl with -d 5 to get the highest log level possible and figure out that it's looking for a plugin.
