- 8c3e8a9 chore: upgrade to 4.0.0+v2.0.0
Tested green on the cc-ci recipe CI server (full suite, cold, against this PR head). NOT merged — for operator review.
cc @trav @notplants
This PR contains the postgres 13.12 → 14.18 upgrade (recipe 3.0.1+v2.0.0 → 4.0.0+v2.0.0) plus two pre-existing recipe bug fixes found during CI investigation. The postgres upgrade itself is correct and the custom entrypoint.postgres.sh.tmpl handles pg_upgrade --link automatically — that part is solid.
What was found and fixed in this PR
Bug 1 — Missing CLICKHOUSE_DATABASE_URL env var (pre-existing)
Plausible v2.0.0's default ClickHouse URL is http://plausible_events_db:8123/... but in Docker Swarm the service DNS name is ${STACK_NAME}_plausible_events_db. Without an explicit CLICKHOUSE_DATABASE_URL, the app's createdb init step fails with NXDOMAIN.
Fix applied: added CLICKHOUSE_DATABASE_URL=http://${STACK_NAME}_plausible_events_db:8123/plausible_events_db to compose.yml.
Bug 2 — Fragile ClickHouse entrypoint crash-loop (pre-existing; same fix as PR #1)
The entrypoint.clickhouse.sh used set -ex with a bare wget to download clickhouse-backup on every container start. Any transient GitHub download failure exits the container immediately → Swarm restarts every ~6 seconds in a permanent crash-loop. This was the primary failure mode blocking the app from ever connecting to ClickHouse.
Fix applied: adopted the resilient entrypoint from PR #1 — set -e (not -ex), 5-attempt retry with backoff, persistent cache at /var/lib/clickhouse/.ccci-bin/, install_clickhouse_backup || true so the server starts regardless. Bumped CLICKHOUSE_ENTRYPOINT_VERSION v2 → v3 in abra.sh to force config re-deploy.
Why all 3 runs failed
Build 198 (SHA 0b08d7ed): NXDOMAIN for ClickHouse — missing CLICKHOUSE_DATABASE_URL
Build 200 (SHA 71234e23): ClickHouse crash-loop persists (journal shows bgwzow7tdts5iqob4px1y8q19 restarting every 6 s); the CLICKHOUSE_ENTRYPOINT_VERSION=v3 config change may not have taken effect during the deploy, or there is a deeper issue with the ClickHouse entrypoint environment
Operator investigation needed
The ClickHouse crash-loop is the root blocker. The resilient entrypoint is committed in this PR (and also exists in open PR #1 on the ci/clickhouse-backup-resilient branch) — but build 200 still shows ClickHouse crashing every 6 seconds. Possible causes:
The CLICKHOUSE_ENTRYPOINT_VERSION=v3 bump in abra.sh did not trigger a config file re-deploy during the CI test run (cc-ci uses abra app deploy --chaos which may not force-redeploy configs)
The new entrypoint is not being reached — the container may be exiting before the entrypoint script even runs (e.g. OOM or missing dependency)
The ClickHouse image (23.4.2.11-alpine) has an issue that needs a version bump
Recommended next steps:
Manually deploy and inspect the ClickHouse container logs to confirm whether the resilient entrypoint runs
Investigate whether abra app config deploy needs to be called explicitly before abra app deploy for the entrypoint change to take effect
Consider upgrading ClickHouse to a newer alpine tag if the image itself is problematic
Nothing was merged. All 3 CI runs are logged in this PR.

### What was found and fixed in this PR
**Bug 1 — Missing `CLICKHOUSE_DATABASE_URL` env var (pre-existing)**
Plausible v2.0.0's default ClickHouse URL is `http://plausible_events_db:8123/...` but in Docker Swarm the service DNS name is `${STACK_NAME}_plausible_events_db`. Without an explicit `CLICKHOUSE_DATABASE_URL`, the app's `createdb` init step fails with NXDOMAIN.
Fix applied: added `CLICKHOUSE_DATABASE_URL=http://${STACK_NAME}_plausible_events_db:8123/plausible_events_db` to `compose.yml`.
**Bug 2 — Fragile ClickHouse entrypoint crash-loop (pre-existing; same fix as PR #1)**
The `entrypoint.clickhouse.sh` used `set -ex` with a bare `wget` to download clickhouse-backup on every container start. Any transient GitHub download failure exits the container immediately → Swarm restarts every ~6 seconds in a permanent crash-loop. This was the primary failure mode blocking the app from ever connecting to ClickHouse.
Fix applied: adopted the resilient entrypoint from PR #1 — `set -e` (not `-ex`), 5-attempt retry with backoff, persistent cache at `/var/lib/clickhouse/.ccci-bin/`, `install_clickhouse_backup || true` so the server starts regardless. Bumped `CLICKHOUSE_ENTRYPOINT_VERSION` v2 → v3 in `abra.sh` to force config re-deploy.
### Why all 3 runs failed
- **Build 198** (SHA `0b08d7ed`): NXDOMAIN for ClickHouse — missing `CLICKHOUSE_DATABASE_URL`
- **Build 199** (SHA `ca89e202`): ClickHouse crash-loop — fragile entrypoint, `wget` failing on GitHub download
- **Build 200** (SHA `71234e23`): ClickHouse crash-loop persists (journal shows `bgwzow7tdts5iqob4px1y8q19` restarting every 6 s); the `CLICKHOUSE_ENTRYPOINT_VERSION=v3` config change may not have taken effect during the deploy, or there is a deeper issue with the ClickHouse entrypoint environment

Make the clickhouse-backup install REQUIRED: if it cannot be fetched
after all retries the entrypoint aborts (non-zero exit, set -e) and
clickhouse-server is not started, so the deploy fails loudly rather than
coming up without backup/restore capability.
Replace the hand-rolled entrypoint.postgres.sh.tmpl (which apt-installed
the old PG binaries and ran initdb + pg_upgrade --link by hand) with the
pgautoupgrade/pgautoupgrade:18-alpine image, matching the other recipes.
PGDATA is pinned to the legacy /var/lib/postgresql/data so the existing
cluster on the volume is upgraded in place rather than re-initialised.
Drops the db_entrypoint config and DB_ENTRYPOINT_VERSION.
The Postgres major-version upgrade and ClickHouse changes are now handled
automatically (pgautoupgrade + resilient entrypoint), so this is a
backward-compatible minor bump, not a major one.
