<div>Good morning </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As you mentioned right now I have 1 master and 4 nodes and couple post-docs. I think we can manage it without the SQL ( MariaDB) accounting feature.</div>
<div>I read in the schedmd website that I can use a text file instead of the sql database.</div>
<div>I will still need to found out how to configure that. But today, I'll be upgrading my master and nodes to ubuntu 18.04.</div>

<div><span>I don't think the problem Chris is referring to (a SQL injection attack) is going to apply to you because you're way too small to need to worry about Slurm accounting, but if it is a concern, install the distro packages; confirm that things are roughly
working and then just take note of how things are set up. You can use</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span> dpkg -L <package_name></span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>to see what files are installed where, and the initial install will tell you what package dependencies are being pulled in. This will help you do a setup from the tarball.</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>Oh, and it is possible that the Ubuntu package will helpfully turn on the slurmdbd for you. Find out what service it's running as (slurmdbd.service?) and mask it:</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span> systemctl stop slurmdbd</span><br>
<span> systemctl mask slurmdbd</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>Disclaimer: I don't currently use the Slurm accounting system and have no idea how it is set up, so the instructions above are likely entirely incorrect.</span><br>
