The setup wizard creates the database beside the configuration it writes, so
it must be run as the littlefedi user with /var/db/littlefedi as the current
directory. The generated configuration is then moved to
/usr/local/etc/littlefedi/littlefedi.toml, where the service reads it.

Choose the setup matching the installed package.

SQLite (the default package):

  cd /var/db/littlefedi
  su -m littlefedi -c '/usr/local/bin/littlefedi init --config ./littlefedi.toml'

PostgreSQL (the -pgsql package): create the PostgreSQL role and database, then
put the connection URL in /usr/local/etc/littlefedi/littlefedi.env using shell-compatible
syntax. The file must be owned by root:littlefedi, mode 0640:

  LITTLEFEDI_DB_DSN='postgresql://littlefedi:password@127.0.0.1/littlefedi?sslmode=disable'

Run the wizard with that environment:

  cd /var/db/littlefedi
  su -m littlefedi -c 'set -a && . /usr/local/etc/littlefedi/littlefedi.env && set +a && /usr/local/bin/littlefedi init --config ./littlefedi.toml'

For either backend, move the generated configuration into place:

  install -o root -g littlefedi -m 0640 /var/db/littlefedi/littlefedi.toml /usr/local/etc/littlefedi/littlefedi.toml
  rm /var/db/littlefedi/littlefedi.toml

PostgreSQL backup and restore invoke pg_dump and psql. Install a client version
compatible with the server before using those commands or enabling backups.

Enable and start the service:

  service littlefedi enable
  service littlefedi start

/usr/local/share/doc/littlefedi/install.md covers secrets, TLS and reverse proxy setup.
