The playbook

The run starts read-only: the recon probes decide what happens next. The steps that follow are adapted to the distribution and state found — a real machine is rarely clean.

1. 01reconHomebrew present? absolute path, prefix owner (brew refuses root: go through sudo -u <owner>), architecture
2. 02reconPostgreSQL already installed? which versions and data folders
3. 03reconport 5432 free?
4. 04reconservice already registered (system or user)? do not duplicate it
5. 05actInstall PostgreSQL ${version}verify
6. 06actStart the serviceverify
7. 07actCheck the local connectionverify

SEC.02

What it verifies

Each step ships its own check. The run only moves on when the check passes, so what the recipe reports as done is what is actually on the server.

1. 01verifyInstall PostgreSQL ${version}Verified byb=$(ls /opt/homebrew/bin/brew /usr/local/bin/brew 2>/dev/null | head -1); u=$(stat -L -f %Su "$b"); p=$(dirname "$(dirname "$b")"); "$p/opt/postgresql@${version}/bin/postgres" --version
2. 02verifyStart the serviceVerified bylaunchctl print system/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql@${version} | grep -m1 "state ="
3. 03verifyCheck the local connectionVerified byb=$(ls /opt/homebrew/bin/brew /usr/local/bin/brew 2>/dev/null | head -1); u=$(stat -L -f %Su "$b"); p=$(dirname "$(dirname "$b")"); "$p/opt/postgresql@${version}/bin/pg_isready" -h 127.0.0.1 -p 5432

Guardrails

Non-negotiable instructions the run must respect, whatever it finds on the server.

Variables

What you choose before launching — the recipe fills in the rest.

How a recipe runs in Servor

Servor is zero-knowledge: the platform cannot execute anything on its own. When you launch this recipe, a run reads the reconnaissance, plans the steps and asks for your approval. Each approved command is signed by your browser — with a key the server never sees — then relayed verbatim to the agent, which verifies the signature locally before executing.

Deploy on Servor button

Maintain PostgreSQL (macOS) or a project that needs it? Put this button in your README or on your site: one click and your users install it on their own server.
