Why is my Postgres database working for a while and then not able to “start server” once restarted?

问题


Recently, I've started playing around with an old Raspberry Pi 3 b+, and I thought it would be good practice to host a Postgres database on my local network and use it for whatever I want to work through. I understand that running Postgres on a Raspberry Pi with 1GB of memory is not ideal and can take a toll on the SDcard, but I've updated the postgresql.conf file and specified that the data directory path is to utilize a 1TB SSD. Additionally, I've installed zram and log2ram to try and curb some of the overhead on SDcard.

Overview of tech I'm working with:

  • Raspberry Pi 3 B+
  • Postgres 12
  • Ubuntu server 20.04 (no gui, only working from terminal)
  • 1TB SSD

Yesterday, I was writing to the Postgres db from a python notebook without any issue, but once I restarted the Raspberry Pi, I was unable to reach the db from DataGrip and would receive the following error from my terminal in Ubuntu:

psql: error: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
    Is the server running locally and accepting
    connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

I checked the status of the postgres server and that seemed to be alright...:

This is what is provided in the postgresql-12-main.log:

Examine the log output.

Please let me know if you have any questions or if you would like for me to include any additional information. I appreciate any pointers you may have for head ahead of time.

This is what the /etc/init.d/postgres file looks like:::

set -e

config file (partly):


#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# FILE LOCATIONS
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# The default values of these variables are driven from the -D command-line
# option or PGDATA environment variable, represented here as ConfigDir.

#data_directory = 'ConfigDir'           # use data in another directory
                                        # (change requires restart)
#hba_file = 'ConfigDir/pg_hba.conf'     # host-based authentication file
                                        # (change requires restart)
#ident_file = 'ConfigDir/pg_ident.conf' # ident configuration file
                                        # (change requires restart)

# If external_pid_file is not explicitly set, no extra PID file is written.
#external_pid_file = ''                 # write an extra PID file
                                        # (change requires restart)

/etc/init.d/postgresql (partly):

NOTE: this is from a non-standard installation. YMMV


# Data directory
#PGDATA="/data/db/postgres"
#PGDATA="/data/db/postgres/pgdata"
#PGDATA="/data/db/postgres-12/pgdata"

PGDATA="/data/db/postgres-11/pgdata"

(when upgrading, I tend to keep the commented-out older setting for reference)

Note: the config-file is not edited, every path refers to the ConfigDir (by default)

Additionally, for Postgres on a Pi, I set:


random_page_cost = 1.1 
shared_buffers = 128MB
#work_mem = 4MB # keep the low default
effective_cache_size = 3GB # This is for a RaspberryPi-4
                           # for a Pi-3, I'd use ~700M
