Linux Startup Settings

This is the login page for GigaFlow, the default login credentials are Username:admin and Password:admin

On this page you can also see details about the current version of Gigaflow which you are accessing.

When you log in for the first time, you will be prompted for some information.

Server name is the name that you want to know this server as. It doesn't have to be the servers hostname. This name will appear in the web browser title bar. Minimum Free Space tells GigaFlow what the minimum free space that it should try to maintain on the disk (before purging old data). This should typically be 10% of your total disk space.

systemctl stop gigaflow
systemctl stop postgresql-11
rsync -av /var/lib/pgsql/11/data/ /data/gigaflow
mv /var/lib/pgsql/11/data /var/lib/pgsql/11/data_old
ln -s /data/gigaflow /var/lib/pgsql/11/data
chown postgres:postgres /var/lib/pgsql/11/data
