Install on Debian / Ubuntu
The .deb package runs SereneDB as a background service. Best for a Debian or Ubuntu server.
Install
Download the latest .deb for your architecture from GitHub Releases and install it:
sudo apt install ./serenedb_*.deb
Using apt install (rather than dpkg -i) pulls in the required postgresql-client and tzdata packages automatically.
Start the service
sudo systemctl enable --now serenedb
SereneDB now starts on boot and runs as the dedicated serenedb user.
Your server is running. Continue with the Quick Start to connect and run your first query.
Connect from another machine
By default SereneDB listens on 127.0.0.1 and accepts connections only from the same server. The service reads its flags from /etc/serenedb/serened.conf. To allow remote clients, change the --listen line there:
--listen=postgres://0.0.0.0:7890
--listen takes every endpoint in one comma-separated value, so keep any other endpoint in the same line. Then restart the service:
sudo systemctl restart serenedb
Remote logins need a password: the postgres role has none and is accepted only from the local machine. Set one before connecting from elsewhere, as Security describes.
