These are instructions for setting up NNTPChan with Postgres as the data-storage system. These are instructions for setting up NNTPChan with Postgres as the data-storage system.
##Configuring Postgres ##Configuring Postgres
A user with sufficient privileges to run su is required (hint: you can use root). This command switches to the Postgres user, creates a Postgres role called `srnd`, and prompts for a password. For illustrative purposes, we will use `srnd` as the password.
Setting up postgres (as root): # su - postgres -c "createuser --pwprompt --createdb --encrypted srnd"
# become postgres user
su postgres
# spawn postgres admin shell
psql
You'll get a prompt, enter the following:
CREATE ROLE srnd WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'srnd';
CREATE DATABASE srnd WITH ENCODING 'UTF8' OWNER srnd;
\q
For demo purposes we'll use these credentials.
These are default values, please change them later.
###Important ###Important
These credentials assume you are going to run using a user called `srnd`, if your username you plan to run the daemon as is different please change `srnd` to your username. It's easiest to connect to Postgres using role-based authentication. In this case, our Linux user `srnd` matches up with our Postgres role `srnd`, so role-based authentication can take place. If you're running SRNDv2 as a different user (e.g. `nntpchan`), you will need to create a role that matches that user using the command above.
