workspace_hack is needed to avoid recompilation when different crates inside the workspace depend on the same packages but with different features being enabled. Problem occurs when you build crates separately one by one. So this is irrelevant to our CI setup because there we build all binaries at once, but it may be relevant for local development. this also changes cargo's resolver version to 2
Compute node tools
Postgres wrapper (zenith_ctl) is intended to be run as a Docker entrypoint or as a systemd
ExecStart option. It will handle all the zenith specifics during compute node
initialization:
zenith_ctlaccepts cluster (compute node) specification as a JSON file.- Every start is a fresh start, so the data directory is removed and initialized again on each run.
- Next it will put configuration files into the
PGDATAdirectory. - Sync safekeepers and get commit LSN.
- Get
basebackupfrom pageserver using the returned on the previous step LSN. - Try to start
postgresand wait until it is ready to accept connections. - Check and alter/drop/create roles and databases.
- Hang waiting on the
postmasterprocess to exit.
Also zenith_ctl spawns two separate service threads:
compute-monitorchecks the last Postgres activity timestamp and saves it into the sharedComputeState;http-endpointruns a Hyper HTTP API server, which serves readiness and the last activity requests.
Usage example:
zenith_ctl -D /var/db/postgres/compute \
-C 'postgresql://zenith_admin@localhost/postgres' \
-S /var/db/postgres/specs/current.json \
-b /usr/local/bin/postgres

Cross-platform compilation
Imaging that you are on macOS (x86) and you want a Linux GNU (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu platform in rust terminology) executable.
Using docker
You can use a throw-away Docker container (rustlang/rust image) for doing that:
docker run --rm \
-v $(pwd):/compute_tools \
-w /compute_tools \
-t rustlang/rust:nightly cargo build --release --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
or one-line:
docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/compute_tools -w /compute_tools -t rust:latest cargo build --release --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Using rust native cross-compilation
Another way is to add x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu target on your host system:
rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Install macOS cross-compiler toolchain:
brew tap SergioBenitez/osxct
brew install x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
And finally run cargo build:
CARGO_TARGET_X86_64_UNKNOWN_LINUX_GNU_LINKER=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc cargo build --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --release
