[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hello,

Here's a patch to improve PostgreSQL service. It merges
<postgresql-configuration> and <postgresql-config-file> records. It also
sanitises parameters conversion and logging.

Thanks,

Mathieu

I haven't read through these changes in detail, but the mixing of the
record describing the config file, and the record for configuring the
service introduces the limitation that you can no longer specify any
lowerable object (like a file) or something like a string to use a
config file outside of the store. Did you have a reason for mixing the
records together?

I must admit I overlooked that possibility. The reason for merging the
records is that the "log-destination" is now needed both to enable
"pg_ctl" logging in "postgresql-shepherd-service" and in
"postgresql-config-file" to be written in PostgreSQL configuration.

Plus having a record called <postgresql-configuration> that does not
contain some of the configuration field feels weird.

Is passing a lowerable config file a use case of yours? In that case I
could still add a "raw-config" field to override the configuration file
creation.

Thanks,

Mathieu

It's not, however given I'm able to make changes to the service
definition, that's what I generally do when I have a problem with it,
rather than sidestepping the Guix configuration layer. It's hard to tell
if anyone is doing that or not.

This pattern of using a record with a gexp-compiler is used for quite a
few services now, but mostly because I've implemented quite a few
services (I think there's one case where someone else did similarly).

I get that there's some value in trying to help users by creating the
relevant directory for logs, but I'm not sure it requires all these
changes.

I'm also unsure about using the same names for configuration parameters,
but picking different semantics. log-destination [1] can be a list
(comma separated string), which I reasonably could be "stderr,syslog" or
'(stderr syslog) in the Guix configuration (just as an example), and
with the service changes proposed here the string value would mean that
log_directory gets set to "stderr,syslog" which seems wrong.

Date: Mon, 18 Jan 2021 11:16:23 +0100
Hello,

Here's a v2 of the patchset. Following Chris advises, I did not merge the two
configuration records. I also break the patch into four smaller patches.

I also added a 'postgresql-role-service-type' that allows to create database
roles in a declarative fashion.

Thanks,

Mathieu

+@deftp {Data Type} postgresql-role
+PostgreSQL manages database access permissions using the concept of
+roles.  A role can be thought of as either a database user, or a group
+of database users, depending on how the role is set up.  Roles can own
+database objects (for example, tables) and can assign privileges on
+those objects to other roles to control who has access to which objects.
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{name}
+The role name.
+
+@item @code{permissions} (default: @code{'(createdb login)})
+The role permissions list.  Supported permissions are @code{createdb}
+and @code{login}.
+
+@item @code{create-database?} (default: @code{#f})
+Whether to create a database with the same name as the role.
+
+@end table
+@end deftp
+
+@deftp {Data Type} postgresql-role-configuration
+Data type representing the configuration of
+@var{postgresql-role-service-type}.
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{host} (default: @code{"/var/run/postgresql"})
+The PostgreSQL host to connect to.

+@item @code{log} (default: @code{"/var/log/postgresql_roles.log"})
+File name of the log file.
+
+@item @code{roles} (default: @code{'()})

This looks good, I did spot some system tests fail though, and I'm
guessing it's this patch in the series that's the reason [1]

1: https://data.guix-patches.cbaines.net/compare/system-test-derivations?base_commit=2d9c6542c804eb2ef3d8934e1e3ab8b24e9bbafb&target_commit=f8a367281daaad998059dd657818c49ed5beac30&locale=en_US.UTF-8

Looking at the patchwork system test log, I'm guessing it's using the
default socket directory on the client side, which is now not working.

I think patching the postgresql package to adjust [2] accordingly would
be useful to keep PostgreSQL connecting with the default socket
directory.

2:
#define DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR  "/tmp"

Why only support these two permissions/options? Accepting strings or
symbols, and then just converting to an upper case string would allow
all the permission options to be specified.

I'm guessing this service will fail if it's run twice, as the
role/database will already exist?

Thanks for having a look! I fixed the tests that were broken by the
socket directory introduction.

I also updated the postgresql default socket directory on core-updates
as you suggested.

Thanks,

Mathieu

Sure, fixed.

Yes, I added a check for already existing roles before pushing.

Thanks,
