Unable to create admin user

Hi Folks,

I’m running into an issue trying to install maas 3.2 (using snap) on an Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host.

I have it currently configured to use Vultr’s PostgreSQL database and was able to successfully run: sudo maas init region+rack --database-uri <db_uri>

But I run into a strange error when trying to create an admin user:

$ sudo maas createadmin
usage: maas [-h] COMMAND ...

optional arguments:
  -h, --help      show this help message and exit

drill down:
  COMMAND
    login         Log in to a remote API, and remember its description and credentials.
    logout        Log out of a remote API, purging any stored credentials.
    list          List remote APIs that have been logged-in to.
    refresh       Refresh the API descriptions of all profiles.

FATAL:  remaining connection slots are reserved for non-replication superuser connections

It looks like a PostgreSQL error, but I’m able to access the database just fine and there are 22 available backend server connections (maas is the only app connecting to this database).

Hi @vyas-n

Can you please check the value of max_connections in postgresql.conf?
I’m also wondering how many connections you do already have, you can discover it with SELECT * FROM pg_stat_activity;

Hi Troy,

Sorry for the large delay, it turns out that I had a problem with the database itself. After reprovisioning the database, uninstalling maas, and reinstalling maas it was able to be setup successfully.
