pg-setup — set up a new Postgres Pro database cluster

Synopsis

pg-setup initdb

Description

pg-setup is a shell script provided in the Postgres Pro distribution to automate database cluster setup on Linux systems. This script is provided as part of the server package. pg-setup must be run as root, but performs database administration operations as user postgres. You can only run this script with the initdb option, without passing any additional arguments.

Options

pg-setup accepts the following command-line options:

initdb

Initialize the database cluster on behalf of the postgres user.

pg-setup creates the database cluster with checksums enabled, auth-local parameter set to peer, and auth-host parameter set to md5. Localization settings are inherited from the LANG environment variable for the current session. All the LC_* environment variables are ignored.

Important

You cannot provide any initdb options to customize the installation. If this is not what you expect, do not use pg-setup for cluster initialization and run initdb directly instead.

Notes

For details on binary installation specifics on Linux, see Section 16.1.
