Centos installation with a non root user

[richard hallier]

Hi,

I have to install a clickhouse server in the customer's datacenter but I have very limited rights with a non root user.

The other issue is that runtime and data shoud be located in specific folders.

What would be the best solution ?

Thank you

Richard

Hi Richard,

I do see any problem here. ClickHouse doesn't require root.

You can set the path in the filesystem ClickHouse uses to store the data in the configuration file. Check the following documentation:
https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/operations/server-configuration-parameters/settings#server_configuration_parameters-path

Best wishes,
