sudo asking for password of dokku user on postgres:backup-schedule about dokku-postgres HOT 9 CLOSED

How did you install the plugin? Did you just clone it?

from dokku-postgres.

I have run command via ansible, but it was just dokku plugin:install https://github.com/dokku/dokku-postgres.git postgres as root

from dokku-postgres.

Run dokku plugin:install as root. Sounds like the install failed somewhere for some odd reason, since we set perms properly at that phase.

It is a production machine, can I re-install it safely with such command?

from dokku-postgres.

Yes. Checkout what the install script does if you're scared ;)

from dokku-postgres.

# dokku plugin:install https://github.com/dokku/dokku-postgres.git
-----> Cloning plugin repo https://github.com/dokku/dokku-postgres.git to /var/lib/dokku/plugins/available/postgres
fatal: destination path 'postgres' already exists and is not an empty directory.

If I remove it and install again, would it kill my postgres containers?

from dokku-postgres.

Got it,

I have moved /var/lib/dokku/services/ to somewhere else to keep postgresql DB on another, larger drive, but sudoers does not permit that:

# cat /etc/sudoers.d/dokku-postgres
%dokku ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/bin/rm -f /etc/cron.d/dokku-postgres-*
%dokku ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/bin/chown root\:root /etc/cron.d/dokku-postgres-*
%dokku ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/bin/mv /var/lib/dokku/services/postgres/.TMP_CRON_FILE /etc/cron.d/dokku-postgres-*
%dokku ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/bin/chown 8983 /var/lib/dokku/services/postgres/*
%dokku ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/bin/chgrp 8983 /var/lib/dokku/services/postgres/*

from dokku-postgres.

I'm also stuck on this error, specifically running into this as well (when trying to reinstall dokku-postgres):
# dokku plugin:install https://github.com/dokku/dokku-postgres.git
fatal: destination path 'postgres' already exists and is not an empty directory.

I'm on dokku 0.7.1 and have updated dokku-postgres to latest.

@sheldonnbbaker you'll need to uninstall then reinstall.
