Thread: Pgbouncer, docker and systemd
Dear all, Iam curious if anyone has tried to marry dockerized pgbouncer and systemd? Why? To get my own most up to date pgbouncer version independent of the OS provided package and coupled with systemd's offered port reuse and separate management ports. I happened to read * https://www.2ndquadrant.com/en/blog/running-multiple-pgbouncer-instances-with-systemd/ * https://www.enterprisedb.com/postgres-tutorials/pgbouncer-setup-extended-architecture-use-cases-and-leveraging-soreuseport The main problem has been that the sd_notify call will not get out from the container and the host's systemctl start is left hanging until a timeout occurs. And I have compiled my own pgbouncer --with-systemd flag so it is probably a docker container feature. Cheers, -- Kristjan Mustkivi Email: kristjan.mustkivi@gmail.com

I think for your what you are trying to set up here, docker and systemd are competing approaches for launching services and they will fight or hinder each other. If all you want is an up to date pgbouncer package, perhaps you will find what you need on apt.postgresql.org or yum.postgresql.org.

Makes sense. Of course, there's a bit more: the environment where the pgbouncer would be installed hosts different services packaged by many teams and the standard for packaging is docker. I will figure out a different approach. Thank you for the comments! Best regards, -- Kristjan Mustkivi Email: kristjan.mustkivi@gmail.com
