# `atuin server`

Atuin allows you to run your own sync server, in case you don't want to use the
one I host :)

There's currently only one subcommand, `atuin server start` which will start the
Atuin http sync server

```
USAGE:
    atuin server start [OPTIONS]

FLAGS:
        --help       Prints help information
    -V, --version    Prints version information

OPTIONS:
    -h, --host <host>
    -p, --port <port>
```

## Configuration

The config for the server is kept separate from the config for the client, even
though they are the same binary. Server config can be found at
`~/.config/atuin/server.toml`.

It looks something like this:

```toml
host = "0.0.0.0"
port = 8888
open_registration = true
db_uri="postgres://user:password@hostname/database"
```

Alternatively, configuration can also be provided with environment variables.

```sh
ATUIN_HOST="0.0.0.0"
ATUIN_PORT=8888
ATUIN_OPEN_REGISTRATION=true
ATUIN_DB_URI="postgres://user:password@hostname/database"
```

### host

The host address the atuin server should listen on.

Defaults to `127.0.0.1`.

### port

The post the atuin server should listen on.

Defaults to `8888`.

### open_registration

If `true`, atuin will accept new user registrations.
Set this to `false` after making your own account if you don't want others to be
able to use your server.

Defaults to `false`.

### db_uri

A valid postgres URI, where the user and history data will be saved to.

## Docker

There is a supplied docker image to make deploying a server as a container easier.

```sh
docker run -d -v "$USER/.config/atuin:/config" ghcr.io/ellie/atuin:latest server start
```

## Docker Compose

Using the already build docker image hosting your own Atuin can be done using the supplied docker-compose file. 

Create a `.env` file next to `docker-compose.yml` with contents like this:

```
ATUIN_DB_USERNAME=atuin
# Choose your own secure password
ATUIN_DB_PASSWORD=really-insecure
```

Create a `docker-compose.yml`:

```yaml
version: '3.5'
services:
  atuin:
    restart: always
    image: ghcr.io/ellie/atuin:main
    command: server start
    volumes:
      - "./config:/config"
    links:
      - postgresql:db
    ports:
      - 8888:8888
    environment:
      ATUIN_HOST: "0.0.0.0"
      ATUIN_OPEN_REGISTRATION: "true"
      ATUIN_DB_URI: postgres://$ATUIN_DB_USERNAME:$ATUIN_DB_PASSWORD@db/atuin
  postgresql:
    image: postgres:14
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes: # Don't remove permanent storage for index database files!
      - "./database:/var/lib/postgresql/data/"
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: $ATUIN_DB_USERNAME
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: $ATUIN_DB_PASSWORD
      POSTGRES_DB: atuin
```

Start the services using `docker-compose`:

```sh
docker-compose up -d
```

### Using systemd to manage your atuin server

The following `systemd` unit file to manage your `docker-compose` managed service:

```
[Unit]
Description=Docker Compose Atuin Service
Requires=docker.service
After=docker.service

[Service]
# Where the docker-compose file is located
WorkingDirectory=/srv/atuin-server 
ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker-compose up
ExecStop=/usr/bin/docker-compose down
TimeoutStartSec=0
Restart=on-failure
StartLimitBurst=3

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```

Start and enable the service with:

```sh
systemctl enable --now atuin
```

Check if its running with:

```sh
systemctl status atuin
```
