I have my own Python application using a PostgreSQL database over SQLAlchemy. Currently I pack the application in a deb-file. After installation (on a fresh system! Ubuntu 14.04.2) it doesn't run because of some PostgreSQL-settings. Of course I understand why and I know (a little bit) which settings I have to do to make it run. But the point is I don't want to plague my user to do that. How could this be solved? How can I release a application using a local PostgreSQL-database. I am not sure if the modifications I do are correct or elegant (see below). These are the modification I have to do to make my application run with the connetion string "postgres://puser@localhost/FoobarTest". The settings are about the /etc/postgresql/9.3/main/pg_hba.conf file. There I change this line host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5 to host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust I have to create a user without a password (beside the admin/postgres), too. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
