Deploying MusicBrainz on Google Cloud

MusicBrainz Development
1

Hello everyone!
I’m trying to deploy the MusicBrainz database on a Google Cloud so that I do not have to use the API. For some reason whenever I put put the dump on Google Cloud, it gives me a random error.

These are the steps I have taken so far:

  • Follow the instructions on mbslave . https://github.com/lalinsky/mbslave
  • Make the data dump from postgresql, and compress it by gzip. Use the command line on Google website.
  •  pg_dump -U [USERNAME] --format=plain --no-owner --no-acl [DATABASE_NAME] \
 | sed -E 's/(DROP|CREATE|COMMENT ON) EXTENSION/-- \1 EXTENSION/g' > [SQL_FILE].sql
  • Make the Google bucket to upload the data dump
  • Upload the compressed data dump to the bucket
  • Import it

Specific Error: The specific error is “Unknown Error”, but the Google logs show the following:

  • ERROR: syntax error at or near “AS” at character 55
  • STATEMENT: CREATE SEQUENCE cover_art_archive.art_type_id_seq
  • AS integer
  • START WITH 1
  • INCREMENT BY 1
  • NO MINVALUE
  • NO MAXVALUE
  • CACHE 1;

I’ve tried to import it as a regular .sql dump as well as trying to compress it as a .gz to no avail.

I have been stuck on this for a couple of weeks now, and would really appreciate some guidance on this problem.

Thanks!
