installer(8) Archiveopteryx Documentation installer(8)NAMEinstaller - Archiveopteryx installer.
SYNOPSIS
/usr/local/libexec/aox/installer [ -n ] [ -q ] [ -v ] ...
DESCRIPTION
This program does the following:
1. Creates a Unix group named aox.
2. Creates a Unix user named aox.
3. Creates a Postgres user named aox.
4. Creates a Postgres user named aoxsuper.
5. Creates a Postgres database named archiveopteryx owned by aoxsuper.
6. Loads the database schema and grants limited privileges to user aox.
7. Generates an initial configuration file.
8. Adjusts ownership and permissions if necessary.
installer should be run after jam install when installing from source.
By default, the address of the PostgreSQL server is derived from the
compile-time DBADDRESS setting in the Jamsettings file (which is
127.0.0.1 by default). If the db-address variable is set in an existing
configuration file, that value takes precedence. If the -a command-line
flag is used, then the address specified has precedence over either of
the former values.
If the server address (as determined above) is 127.0.0.1, the installer
will try to use a Unix domain socket to connect to the server. The
location of this socket is determined by the -s socket command-line
argument. If no socket is specified, the default named socket location
( /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432) is used instead. For any other server address,
the installer will try to use a Unix domain socket only if one is
explicitly specified with -s. In any case, if password authentication
is to be used when talking to the server, the -P option will cause the
installer to prompt for the password.
OPTIONS-q Suppresses all normal output.
-v Makes the output more verbose (may be repeated).
-n Causes the program to report what it would do, but not actually
do anything.
-g group
Allows you to specify a Unix group other than the default of
aox.
-u user
Allows you to specify a Unix username other than the default of
aox.
-p postgres
Allows you to specify the name of the PostgreSQL superuser. The
default is to try $PGUSER (if set), postgres and pgsql in turn.
-P Instructs the installer to prompt for and read the PostgreSQL
superuser's password, and be prepared to use that for
authentication (if necessary).
-a address
Allows you to specify a different address for the Postgres
server. The default is 127.0.0.1.
-s /path/to/socket
Allows you to specify a location for the PostgreSQL server's
Unix-domain listening socket. The specified value is used as
described above.
-t port
Allows you to specify a different port for the Postgres server.
The default is 5432. (This value is used only if the server
address does not refer to a Unix socket.)
-d dbname
Allows you to specify a database to use. The default is
archiveopteryx.
-S schema
Allows you to specify a schema where the Archiveopteryx database
objects will be installed. If this is not specified, objects are
installed into the public schema.
Please do not use -S unless you are sure you understand all its
implications. It is safe to ignore it entirely if you don't.
The defaults come from Jamsettings.
DIAGNOSTICS
The return code is zero if all goes well, and a non-zero in case of
errors. Disasters are logged via stderr.
