1.Install Postgres and Initialization
Install Postgres though apt
sudo apt-get install postgresql
Change your default login information Log into your postgres database first
sudo -u postgres psql
Ensure your terminal is start with postgres=# , otherwise login is failed. The following commands has to be under postgres internal terminal
We now modified the password for your database account. Replace 123456 with your own password.
ALTER USER postgres WITH PASSWORD '123456';
Change your login information as system user
We need to change our password in Ubuntu as well.
su root sudo paswd -d postgres sudo -u postgres passwd
2.Allow remote connections
At most scenario, we need to access our database remotely. However, postgres don’t allow any remote connections as default.
Modify access permission
Open /etc/postgresql/12/main/pg_hab.conf Add a row in IPV4: host all all 0.0.0.1/0 md5，this allows all remote connections with any IPs.
vi /etc/postgresql/12/main/pg_hab.conf
The file should looks like this after modified.
# TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD # "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only local all all trust # IPv4 local connections: host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust host all all 0.0.0.1/0 md5 # IPv6 local connections: host all all ::1/128 trust
Modified the address PostgreSQL is listening
Modify file at /etc/postgresql/12/main/postgresql.conf，and change the address from localhost to all open sources. Locate the row #listen_addresses = ’localhost’and delete the ‘#’ Change the adress to listen_addresses = ‘*’ Now, using Datagrip or sth else to check if your Postgres Database works well.
