Last night I noticed one of our prod databases was restarted. Digging deeper it was Ubuntu's unattended-upgrade utility (which we just started using this month) that upgraded it from the PGDG 10.14 package to the Ubuntu 10.15 package. We had assumed since unattended-upgrade doesn't include PGDG that it wouldnt upgrade the existing packages, but apparently that doesn't prevent it from "upgrading" them to the Ubuntu equivalent, which then also restarts the databases. It seems this is only a problem with postgresql-10 on Ubuntu Bionic since Bionic provides its own postgresql-10 packages. I'm guessing we should blacklist all postgresql packages in the unattended-upgrades config. I'm wondering if this has been already tackled by anyone else and if there is a more clever solution other than NOT running unattended-upgrades. Alternatively, is it possible to install the new packages but *NOT* restart the DB automatically? I understand that a DB restart would be required to run on the new version but curious if we could have the packages installed prior and then restart at the next available window (although installation doesn't really take that long, just curious). -- Don Seiler www.seiler.us ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 3+ messages in thread

Hmm, I wasn't aware that Ubuntu's (?) default unattended-upgrades config makes it upgrade Ubuntu packages only. > Alternatively, is it possible to install the new packages but *NOT* restart > the DB automatically? I understand that a DB restart would be required to You can install a /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d file [1]. That will allow filtering the start/stop actions issued by package activity.

Restarting after install is actually the default since a while ago. (Previously packages were doing stop-upgrade-start.) Christoph ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 3+ messages in thread

Not immediately after the upgrade when we aren't ready for it. Thanks for all the info! Don. -- Don Seiler www.seiler.us ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 3+ messages in thread
