Plan the Postgres 17 → 18 upgrade

CI / build (pull_request) Successful in 46s

Details

f74a8a1187

Writes the upgrade down as a runbook rather than doing it: the data move has
to happen on the servers first, and a compose bump that merges ahead of it
takes down whoever next runs deploy.sh for an unrelated reason. Nothing is
bumped here.

deploy/postgres-upgrade.md carries the plan and the reasons. Two things the
issue did not know: the 18 image also moved PGDATA to /var/lib/postgresql/18/
docker and its volume to /var/lib/postgresql (docker-library/postgres#1259),
so the compose volumes: line changes with the tag; and pg_upgrade is the wrong
tool at this size — dump/restore is seconds, rebuilds indexes under the new
collation (our data is musl, the only ready-made upgrade image is glibc), and
lands on 18's default of data checksums.

Rehearsed on PostgreSQL 17.11 → 18.6 against this repository's own schema,
applied by the app itself: dump/restore round-trips it with the partial unique
index and identity sequences intact and the app healthy on the result;
pg_upgrade refuses a default 18 cluster ("old cluster does not use data
checksums but the new one does") until pg_checksums --enable runs on the
stopped 17 cluster; restoring over the schema the app seeds fails with
relation "AccessRequests" already exists, so the runbook drops the database
first.

docs/deployment.md and deploy/README.md point at it.

Plan the Postgres 17 → 18 upgrade (it is a pg_upgrade, not a tag edit) #119

💬 Verdict: comment — notes only, nothing blocking.

Documentation-only PR: a new runbook (deploy/postgres-upgrade.md) for the eventual Postgres 17 → 18 major upgrade, plus cross-reference edits in deploy/README.md and docs/deployment.md. Nothing in the actual compose files or app code changes yet, matching the PR's own claim ("nothing in the repository has been bumped").

I verified the core technical claim against upstream: PostgreSQL 18's official Docker images did move PGDATA to a version-specific /18/docker subdirectory and changed the declared volume to the parent /var/lib/postgresql (docker-library/postgres#1259), so the doc's central point — that this is not a tag-only bump because the mount path and volume also change — is accurate. The dump/restore-over-pg_upgrade reasoning, the ordering rationale (rehearse → dev → prod → merge last), the volume-rename-without-version-number reasoning, and the pg_ctlcluster error message all read as internally consistent and well-reasoned for this app's small dataset.

One real (minor) bug in the runbook itself: the restore step re-derives the dump filename with $(date +%F) instead of reusing the name captured when the dump was taken, which can silently break if the maintenance window crosses a date boundary. Otherwise this is a solid, well-cross-referenced planning document and the two doc cross-references (deploy/README.md, docs/deployment.md) are updated consistently with it.

If the freeze→dump→deploy→restore sequence in step 3 straddles midnight, this expands to a path that doesn't exist (or, worse, a different file), and the restore fails or silently no-ops. Since this whole page is meant to be a checklist executed live against production, worth capturing the dump path in a shell variable at step (b) and reusing that variable in step (d) instead of re-deriving it from the current date.

Reuse the captured dump path in the Postgres upgrade runbook

CI / build (pull_request) Successful in 35s

Details

04a32d9985

The restore step re-derived the dump filename with $(date +%F), so a
maintenance window that straddles midnight would restore from a path that
does not exist. Capture it once as $DUMP at the dump step and reuse it.

Also fix the dump-completeness check: since 17.6 (CVE-2025-8714) pg_dump
ends the file with a \unrestrict line and a blank one, so 'tail -1' never
shows the completion marker it claims to.

Pushed to claude/issue-119 (commit 04a32d9) — PR #131 is updated.

The review finding: valid, fixed

The restore in step (d) re-derived ~/$S-pg17-$(date +%F).sql instead of reusing the name the dump wrote. A freeze→dump→deploy→restore window that straddles midnight would have pointed at a path that doesn't exist. The dump path is now captured once as $DUMP at step (b) and reused at (d), and the fallback podman cp line at the bottom of the page (which used a ~/$S-pg17-*.sql glob — same class of problem, plus it would match multiple files after a second attempt) uses it too. I added a short note above the block saying the steps are one shell session and what to do if you come back to a fresh one, since a bare $DUMP is only unambiguous while that's true.

One more bug found while verifying it

Rehearsing the command shape against a real cluster (Postgres 15 in this container) surfaced that the completeness check was wrong:

tail -1 ~/$S-pg17-*.sql        # must read: -- PostgreSQL database dump complete

It never reads that. Since the August 2025 security release — 17.6 and friends, CVE-2025-8714 — pg_dump wraps its output in \restrict/\unrestrict, so the file now ends with an \unrestrict <token> line and a blank one, and the completion marker sits five lines up. A maintainer following the page verbatim would see a blank line and conclude the dump was truncated, mid-freeze, on production. The 17-alpine tag floats, so the deployed pg_dump is well past 17.6. Changed to tail -5, with the reason in a comment.

Verified

bash -n on the step 2/3 command block; confirmed DUMP=~/... tilde-expands in an assignment.
Ran the actual dump/restore shape against a local cluster (create db → pg_dump > "$DUMP" → DROP DATABASE … WITH (FORCE) → psql -v ON_ERROR_STOP=1 < "$DUMP"), including the grep -c 'enc:v1:' check on a seeded ciphertext-shaped row — round-tripped intact. This is what turned up the tail -1 problem.
dotnet test --filter DocumentationTests — 8 passed.

I could not exercise the runbook against the real postgres:17-alpine/18-alpine images: no container runtime in this job container. Everything above the compose files is unchanged, so the PR is still documentation-only.

No new issues filed.

✅ Verdict: approve — no blocking issues found.

Re-review: the previous minor issue (restore step re-deriving the dump filename with a fresh $(date +%F) instead of reusing the captured path) is now fixed — step (b) captures DUMP=~/$S-pg17-$(date +%F).sql and the doc now explicitly states this is a single shell session where $DUMP is set once and reused at (d), with guidance to re-set it by hand from the actual file if the shell session doesn't survive rather than re-deriving it from the current date.

Spot-checked the two most load-bearing technical claims again against upstream:

PostgreSQL 18's official Docker images did move PGDATA to /var/lib/postgresql/18/docker and change the declared VOLUME to the parent /var/lib/postgresql (docker-library/postgres#1259) — confirmed, matches the doc's central claim that this is not a tag-only bump.
The \restrict/\unrestrict marker lines in pg_dump output as of 17.6, tied to CVE-2025-8714 — confirmed; the doc's tail -5 (rather than tail -1) guidance for spotting the completion marker is accurate.

No new issues found. This remains a documentation-only PR (a new runbook plus two consistent cross-references); nothing in compose files or app code changes.
