Install Considerations

  1. Pick your database implementation

    • Flatfile via BoltDB
      1. Pros
        • No dependency on a database server
        • Fast with small/medium data sets. Good for one off instances.
      2. Cons
        • May not scale well on large deployments
        • Memory consumption may be higher
        • Startup time might be higher
      3. Mixed
        • Backup is easy as a single file needs to be copied over. However to do this safely, you'd need to stop the server. We'll add a hook to create a backup via a signal in a future version.

  2. Pick your authentication plugin

    • Database
      1. Pros
        • Separate credentials from your LDAP/corporate infrastructure
        • No dependency on an external auth server
      2. Cons
        • No centralized authentication
    • LDAP
      1. Pros
        • Centralized Authentication
      2. Cons
        • Depending on the location of your GoCrack server, allowing LDAP access might not be feasible
