PostgreSQL installation and configuration

NOTE!

  • in case you already have postgres setup in your network, you can skip this part

  • installation should be performed under the root user.

  1. Install PostgreSQL from yum repository

    yum install -y postgresql postgresql-server

  2. Initialize a new PostgreSQL installation

    postgresql-setup initdb

    By default PostgreSQL server is only accessible via Unix Domain Sockets or loopback IP interface (127.0.0.1) to the local users, the users are authenticated by the operating system, i.e. the OS user postgres can connect as PostreSQL user postgres without any additional authentication from the PostgreSQL server side. To allow PgAdmin4 and FIXICC H2 to work we need to enable access via a network

    To enable network access to PostgreSQL server edit file /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf and add the following lines:

    host    all     all     0.0.0.0/0       md5 host    all     all     ::0/0           md5

    It allows all users to connect from any host via TCP or SSL socket using hashed passwords.

    Remove lines that enable ident connection to localhost:

    To enable listening of all network interfaces edit file /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf , replace line:

    with

  3. Enable auto-start and start postgresql server (check service status)
