Configuring your EventStoreDB installation

Linux

Start EventStoreDB as a service on a custom port

Follow the instructions in the installation section to install an EventStoreDB package. Do not start EventStoreDB.

Find your inet address. For example:

#Retrieve your IP address
ifconfig

#Output
eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.1.68  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.1.255
        inet6 fe80::d12:27b9:96c2:c00e  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0xfd<compat,link,site,host>

Edit your EventStoreDB config:

#Open the file
sudo nano /etc/eventstore/eventstore.conf

#Add the following
extIp: <your inet address>
ExtHttpPort: 80
ExtHttpPrefixes: http://*:80/
AddInterfacePrefixes: false

Allow the EventStoreDB executable to bind to a port lower than 1024:

sudo setcap CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE=+eip /usr/bin/eventstored

Start the EventStoreDB service as normal:

sudo systemctl start eventstore
