Pre-deployment configuration overview

To ensure that seekdb can be used effectively, you need to configure the operating system and installation environment as follows:

Configuration itemRequiredDescription
Create a user
  • For personal trial scenarios, you can use the root user.
  • For production environments, it is recommended to use a user with sudo privileges.
You can use a regular user with sudo privileges.
Plan disks
  • For personal trial scenarios, no configuration is required.
  • For production environments, it is recommended to configure.
In production environments, it is recommended to use different disks for the log storage directory and data storage directory to avoid performance issues in high-pressure scenarios when both directories are planned on the same disk.
Configure limits.conf
  • For personal trial scenarios, no configuration is required.
  • For production environments, configuration is required.
Improves the stability and performance of the cluster during runtime.
Configure sysctl.conf
  • For personal trial scenarios, no configuration is required.
  • For production environments, configuration is required.
Improves Linux system performance, thereby improving seekdb performance.
Disable the firewall and SELinux
  • For personal trial scenarios, no configuration is required.
  • For production environments, configuration is required.
Prevents access to the database from being blocked.
