Keywords: Linux Database PostgreSQL

1. Select installation package

The source file directory can be found in the official of postgresql. The address is as follows: Official website address of postgresql , select the corresponding version for installation according to the project requirements, as shown in the figure below:

2. Installation

① Unzip the installation package
First, enter the directory where the source package is located and unzip it

[root@admin-node011 opt]# tar -zxf postgresql-10.15.tar.gz 

② Compile
Enter the decompression directory and compile through. / configure:

Note: because my machine has installed other components before, it does not report dependency problems. If it is a new machine installation, it may report dependency problems. Therefore, install what is missing.
Generally, it is execution
yum -y install gcc gcc-c++ readline-devel zlib-devel
③ Execute make & & make install

[root@admin-node011 postgresql-10.15]# make && make install

After resolving the dependency in the previous stage, no error will be reported in the process. Therefore, the pgsql directory will be produced under the / usr/local / directory specified in the previous step.

3. User rights

After successful compilation and installation, try to start pgsql for the first time. It is found that root cannot start pgsql.

Execute the following commands to create ordinary users and modify all permissions under the pgsql directory to be ordinary users, so the users we create here are still postgres.

[root@admin-node011 local]#  useradd postgres
[root@admin-node011 local]#  echo 'postgres' | passwd --stdin postgres
[root@admin-node011 local]# chown -R postgres:postgres pgsql/

4. Initialize database

[root@admin-node011 bin]# ./initdb --help
initdb initializes a PostgreSQL database cluster.

Usage:
  initdb [OPTION]... [DATADIR]

Options:
  -A, --auth=METHOD         default authentication method for local connections
      --auth-host=METHOD    default authentication method for local TCP/IP connections
      --auth-local=METHOD   default authentication method for local-socket connections
 [-D, --pgdata=]DATADIR     location for this database cluster
  -E, --encoding=ENCODING   set default encoding for new databases
      --locale=LOCALE       set default locale for new databases
      --lc-collate=, --lc-ctype=, --lc-messages=LOCALE
      --lc-monetary=, --lc-numeric=, --lc-time=LOCALE
                            set default locale in the respective category for
                            new databases (default taken from environment)
      --no-locale           equivalent to --locale=C
      --pwfile=FILE         read password for the new superuser from file
  -T, --text-search-config=CFG
                            default text search configuration
  -U, --username=NAME       database superuser name
  -W, --pwprompt            prompt for a password for the new superuser
  -X, --waldir=WALDIR       location for the write-ahead log directory

Less commonly used options:
  -d, --debug               generate lots of debugging output
  -k, --data-checksums      use data page checksums
  -L DIRECTORY              where to find the input files
  -n, --no-clean            do not clean up after errors
  -N, --no-sync             do not wait for changes to be written safely to disk
  -s, --show                show internal settings
  -S, --sync-only           only sync data directory

Other options:
  -V, --version             output version information, then exit
  -?, --help                show this help, then exit

If the data directory is not specified, the environment variable PGDATA
is used.

Report bugs to <pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org>.

Here, the workspace is specified as / usr/local/pgsql/data directory. In actual use, it can be specified to any directory, and then start postgresql

During the first initialization, an error will be reported, indicating that the / usr/local/pgsql/data directory already exists and is not empty

Therefore, we try to delete all the contents in the data directory, and then initialize again. It is found that the initialization is successful this time.

After initialization in the correct way, you will find that the corresponding content is generated in the / usr/loacl/pgsql/data / directory

5. Start

Next, you can start pgsql for the first time

[postgres@admin-node011 data]$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data/ -l logfile start
waiting for server to start.... done
server started
[postgres@admin-node011 data]$ 

In the figure above, we will find that postgresql has been started
Of course, we can not start it first, because we need to modify some configuration parameters later
After initialization, we can see the generated data directory data and the relevant data and configuration files of the directory in the directory of PostgreSQL, pg_hba.conf and postgresql.conf have also been mentioned in previous blogs. One is access control configuration (127.0.0.1 is changed to trusted client ip network segment to enable remote access), and the other is PostgreSQL master configuration file (listen_address=localhost is changed to asterisk to enable it to listen to the whole network)

[postgres@admin-node011 data]$ pwd
/usr/local/pgsql/data
[postgres@admin-node011 data]$ vim pg_hba.conf 
[root@admin-node011 data]# cat pg_hba.conf  |grep -v "^#"|grep -v "^$"|grep -v $'^\t'
local   all             all                                     trust
host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            trust
host    all             all             ::1/128                 trust
local   replication     all                                     trust
host    replication     all             127.0.0.1/32            trust
host    replication     all             ::1/128                 trust
host   all             all           192.168.0.0/16             trust
host   all             all           0.0.0.0/0          trust

Configuration information in postgresql.conf

[postgres@admin-node011 data]$ vim postgresql.conf 
[postgres@admin-node011 data]$ 
[postgres@admin-node011 data]$ 
[postgres@admin-node011 data]$ cat postgresql.conf  |grep -v "^#"|grep -v "^$"|grep -v $'^\t'
listen_addresses = '*'		# what IP address(es) to listen on;
port = 5432				# (change requires restart)
max_connections = 100			# (change requires restart)
shared_buffers = 128MB			# min 128kB
dynamic_shared_memory_type = posix	# the default is the first option
log_timezone = 'PRC'
datestyle = 'iso, mdy'
timezone = 'PRC'
lc_messages = 'en_US.UTF-8'			# locale for system error message
lc_monetary = 'en_US.UTF-8'			# locale for monetary formatting
lc_numeric = 'en_US.UTF-8'			# locale for number formatting
lc_time = 'en_US.UTF-8'				# locale for time formatting
default_text_search_config = 'pg_catalog.english'

After configuration, restart postgresql and verify whether the connection is normal.

[postgres@admin-node011 pgsql]$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data/ -l logfile restart
waiting for server to shut down.... done
server stopped
waiting for server to start.... done
server started
[postgres@admin-node011 pgsql]$ 

View startup port and process information

Next, connect with navicat again,
It is found that you can connect normally, and the stand-alone deployment of this postgresql is completed.
