Atuin Server

Self-hosted sync server for Atuin, enabling encrypted shell history
synchronisation across multiple machines.

All server settings are configured via server.toml, written to
/var/snap/atuin-server/common/server.toml with documented defaults on
first install. Edit that file, then start the server.

QUICK START — SQLite (simplest, single-machine):

sudo snap install atuin-server
# The server starts automatically using the default SQLite db.
# Edit /var/snap/atuin-server/common/server.toml to customise.

QUICK START — bundled PostgreSQL 18 (multi-user / team):

sudo snap install atuin-server
sudo snap set atuin-server atuin-server.use-postgres=true
# Starts bundled postgres, restarts the server, injects the URI.

SNAP CONFIG:

atuin-server.use-postgres true|false Enable/disable bundled PostgreSQL

Bundled PostgreSQL port and password are set in:
/var/snap/atuin-server/common/postgres.conf

NOTE: external PostgreSQL must be reachable via TCP (localhost or a
hostname). Unix-socket connections are blocked by snap confinement.
