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.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
If you’re running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) or later, including Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.
For versions of Ubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include snap by default, snap can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for snapd.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install Atuin Server, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install atuin-server --candidate
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
