fix(install): size the MySQL/MariaDB buffer pool from host RAM - #45
The MySQL and MariaDB compose files set --innodb-buffer-pool-size=256M. On a large panel that is too small: in a test with 100k users and about 33M usage rows (MySQL 8.4, 2 CPU / 4 GB), the same 3 minutes of panel load gave:
buffer pool
usage write p50 / p95
user chart p50 / p95
256M
11.6 s / 14.5 s
86 / 439 ms
512M
11.5 s / 13.2 s
114 / 483 ms
1G
5.0 s / 14.2 s
74 / 663 ms
2G
1.7 s / 2.5 s
54 / 82 ms
The usage job runs every 10 s, so at 256M it cannot keep up.
Change
Both compose files use --innodb-buffer-pool-size=${MYSQL_BUFFER_POOL_SIZE:-256M} (same pattern as PG_SHM_SIZE).
On install with MySQL or MariaDB, pasarguard.sh writes MYSQL_BUFFER_POOL_SIZE to .env: about 25% of RAM in 128M steps, between 256M and 4096M (256M if RAM cannot be read). A 1 GB host gets 256M, 2 GB 384M, 4 GB about 900M, 8 GB about 1.9G, 16 GB and more 4G. Small panels stay close to the old value.
A cgroup memory limit (v1 or v2) lower than MemTotal is used instead of it.
The MySQL template sets --innodb-buffer-pool-instances=1. With several instances MySQL rounds the pool up (in a test on MySQL 8.4 and 9.7, 4096M became 4480M and 1152M became 1536M); with one it keeps the exact size. MariaDB always uses one instance and only warns about the option, so its template does not set it.
Existing installs are not changed. The docs explain how to opt in (one line in docker-compose.yml plus the variable in .env).
New checks in tests/unit_pasarguard.sh for the sizing (1, 2, 4, 8, 64 GB, unreadable meminfo) and for both templates. docker compose config gives 1024M with the variable in .env and 256M without it.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
MySQL and MariaDB installations now automatically size the InnoDB buffer pool based on available memory, using a cgroup memory limit when available. The value is rounded to 128 MB increments and capped between 256M and 4096M.
Customize the buffer pool size with MYSQL_BUFFER_POOL_SIZE. Docker Compose defaults to 256M when the setting is unset.
Documentation
Added guidance on buffer pool sizing, configuration defaults, and updating existing installations.
The compose templates fixed --innodb-buffer-pool-size at 256M. On a large
panel (100k users, 33M usage rows, 2 CPU / 4 GB) one usage write took about
11.6 s with 256M, longer than the 10 s job interval, and 1.7 s with 2G.
The templates now read MYSQL_BUFFER_POOL_SIZE (default 256M), and the
installer writes about 25% of host RAM to .env, in 128M steps between 256M
and 4096M, so small hosts stay near the old value.

Walkthrough
The installer calculates a MySQL or MariaDB InnoDB buffer pool size from host memory and a lower cgroup limit when available. It writes the value to .env. Both Compose configurations use the setting with a 256M fallback.

Summary
Calculate and store the buffer pool size pasarguard.sh, tests/unit_pasarguard.sh
The installer calculates a size from host memory or a lower cgroup limit. It rounds down to 128 MB steps and clamps the result to 256M–4096M. It writes the value to .env and displays it. Tests cover sizing and fallback behavior.
Apply and document the buffer pool size docker-compose/pasarguard-mariadb.yml, docker-compose/pasarguard-mysql.yml, docs/database-configurations.md, docs/environment-variables.md, tests/unit_pasarguard.sh
Both Compose configurations use MYSQL_BUFFER_POOL_SIZE with a 256M fallback. MySQL sets one buffer-pool instance. Documentation describes the setting and how to update existing installations. Tests check both Compose configurations.

New MySQL or MariaDB installs size the buffer pool from host RAM or a directly visible cgroup limit. In unusual setups where a memory limit applies at a parent cgroup, the installer may choose a larger pool than the database can use, which risks out-of-memory restarts. This narrow case can be handled by setting the value manually in .env, so it is not a blocker for merging.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Account for cgroup memory limits.
If Docker runs inside a memory-limited container without a virtualized /proc/meminfo, this reads the physical host’s RAM instead of the container’s limit. A 1 GiB container on a 32 GiB host receives a 4096M pool and can OOM when MySQL starts. Size the pool against the effective cgroup limit as well as MemTotal. (github.com)

…oup limits
With several buffer pool instances MySQL rounds the pool up (4096M became
4480M, 1152M became 1536M), so the 4096M cap was not real. The MySQL template
now pins one instance; MariaDB always has one and removed the option.
The sizing also uses a cgroup memory limit when it is lower than MemTotal.

The limit was read only at the cgroup mount root. Now the installer's own
cgroup from /proc/self/cgroup and each ancestor are checked, for cgroup v2
and v1, and the lowest limit is used.

…ect the override and version-check docs
ledger.tsv: the branch row that pinned upstream main to 21f64e4 is replaced by
one row per upstream commit the fork does not contain.
- PasarGuard#42 (21f64e4) is ported as 9cd2d22.
- PasarGuard#45 (ffc9df4) stays deferred until 2026-11-10. Its port is ready, but both
restore paths bring the archive's .env (an ordinary restore keeps only the
destination's credentials, --fresh installs it whole), so the templates
would start a smaller host with a larger source host's buffer pool. It lands
only with a restore that keeps or recomputes the destination's size.
- PasarGuard#41 (4d481a8) stays deferred until 2026-11-10: it changes pg-node update,
which node-serviced reinstalls from main on every panel-triggered node
update, so it must run on a test node first.
- PasarGuard#46 (2da3ab1) is on upstream main only and is held by the release-only
rule until 2026-12-01.
Release v0.1.11 gets a deferred row next to v0.1.10. Pull request PasarGuard#40 was
closed upstream without a merge and is waived.
ROLLOUT.md and FLEET_MIGRATION.md still said every pasarguard and pg-node
Compose call ignores the override file; since 8106c07 compose_cmd loads it,
and the docs now name the calls that do not go through it. DIVERGENCES.md

records that the difference has no effect today.

… MariaDB buffer pool from host RAM
Squash port of upstream ffc9df4 (release v0.1.11, PasarGuard#45). The MySQL and MariaDB
templates read --innodb-buffer-pool-size from ${MYSQL_BUFFER_POOL_SIZE:-256M},
the MySQL template pins --innodb-buffer-pool-instances=1 so the pool keeps the
set size, and install writes about 25% of host RAM (or of the lowest cgroup
memory limit on the installer's path) to .env, in 128M steps between 256M and
4096M. Installs without the variable keep 256M.
Changes against upstream: the new functions carry no code comments, the
compose lines keep their old trailing comment text, and install passes
/proc/meminfo explicitly so shellcheck reports nothing new. The test block is
added after the fork's PgBouncer checks in tests/unit_pasarguard.sh, where the
cherry-pick conflicted; both blocks are kept.

…t it runs on
Upstream PasarGuard#45 (ported as d780fd9) moves --innodb-buffer-pool-size into .env
as MYSQL_BUFFER_POOL_SIZE, sized from the installing host's RAM. Upstream's
restore treats .env as source data, so a backup from a 16 GB host started
MySQL or MariaDB on a 2 GB host with a 4096M pool, and a backup from an
install without the variable dropped the destination's size back to 256M.
lib/pasarguard-restore.sh changes the MYSQL_BUFFER_POOL_SIZE line only for
MySQL and MariaDB restores; SQLite, PostgreSQL and TimescaleDB restores leave
the archive's MYSQL_BUFFER_POOL_SIZE line as it is.
- An ordinary restore keeps the destination's MYSQL_BUFFER_POOL_SIZE line
exactly as it was (the last one, when there are several), next to its
database credentials, and removes the archive's value, export lines
included, when the destination has none.
- restore --fresh sets the size for the recovery host right after installing
the archive's .env, before the database starts, and again after the
app-directory sync installs that .env a second time.
- A --fresh run continued as an ordinary restore also sets the size for the
recovery host, because its .env may come from an earlier attempt.
- The line goes on a line of its own, also when the .env has no final
newline. The destination's line is read with NUL bytes removed, and
anything that is not a MYSQL_BUFFER_POOL_SIZE assignment is refused
instead of written.
- The size comes from mysql_buffer_pool_size_for_ram in pasarguard.sh. A
pasarguard.sh from before the port that loads this library lacks it; the
restore then removes the archive's value, so the template's 256M applies.
- When neither the destination's docker-compose.yml nor its override reads
the variable, the restore says that .env does not set the pool size.
Tests: tests/test_restore_keeps_host_buffer_pool.sh (new, in the fork
regression workflow); MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL and SQLite cases in
tests/unit_restore_recovery.sh; tests/fresh_recovery_roundtrip.sh checks the
.env and the pool size the recovered MySQL or MariaDB runs with, and the
backup-restore workflow now also runs it for a MySQL --fresh that stops and
is continued. That test runs backup_command in a subshell: in the test's own
shell it exported every .env key, which overrode Compose's interpolation.
parity: the PasarGuard#45 commit row is ported-with-changes. The v0.1.11 tag row stays
deferred until 2026-11-10, because the tag also holds PasarGuard#41. ROLLOUT.md and
FLEET_MIGRATION.md now say that an upstream copy whose library refresh fails
sources whatever lib/docker.sh the shared directory holds, which is the
fork's when a fork copy refreshed it last. DIVERGENCES.md and
docs/database-configurations.md describe the restore behaviour, the
fork-only test list names the three tests it left out, and the run_isolated
sentence names the workflows whose steps do not use it.
