Service Configuration Files

PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL configuration files are located in the etc directory, categorized by PostgreSQL version. For example, configuration files for PostgreSQL 16 can be found in:

/Applications/ServBay/etc/postgresql/16

In this directory, you can find the main PostgreSQL configuration files, such as postgresql.conf.

Additionally, files like pg_hba.conf and pg_ident.conf are located in the db directory, such as:

/Applications/ServBay/db/postgresql/16

OpenSSL

OpenSSL configuration files are located in the package/common/openssl directory, also managed by version. For example, configuration files for OpenSSL 3.2 can be found in:

/Applications/ServBay/package/common/openssl/3.2

In this directory, you can find the main OpenSSL configuration files, such as openssl.cnf.

Other Services

Configuration files for other services are typically located under the /Applications/ServBay/etc directory and categorized by service name and version. For example, Caddy's configuration files are located in:

/Applications/ServBay/etc/caddy

In this directory, you can find Caddy's main configuration files, such as Caddyfile and other related files.

Locating and Managing Configuration Files

ServBay provides a flexible way to manage configurations. You can locate and manage configuration files using the following steps:
