TALER-EXCHANGE-DBCONFIG(1)

📦 version 1.3.0, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, taler-exchange-dbconfig is the main character of this GNU Taler manual page (section 1), and its whole vibe is: configure Taler exchange database. That’s it. That’s the plot. 💅✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

taler-exchange-dbconfig [-c FILENAME] [-h] [-n NAME] [-r] [-s] [-u USER]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so taler-exchange-dbconfig is literally a simple shell script that configures a Postgresql database for use by the GNU Taler exchange. No cap, that’s the whole thing. 🫶

Its options are as follows, bestie:

  • -c FILENAME — Write the database configuration to FILENAME. The tool will append the required CONFIG option for the Postgresql access to the respective file. 📝
  • -h — Print short help on options. Your little “wait what does this do again?” bestie. 🙈
  • -n DBNAME — Use DBNAME for the name of the created database. Name it something cute, or don’t, live ur truth. 💖
  • -r — Reset any existing database. This loses all existing data. DANGEROUS. Like, not kidding, this is the “oops I deleted the whole group chat” button. 💀🔥
  • -s — Skip database initialization. Useful if you want to run taler-exchange-dbinit manually. You got this, independent queen. 👑
  • -u USER — Specifies the (main) exchange user that will access the database. The main character of the DB access story, periodt. 🎀
