Windows: WSL

Follow these steps to setup Runops proxy mode on Windows using WSL:

1. Download and Install nodejs
2. Install Runops CLI:

npm install -g runops

3. Login to Runops

runops login

4. Install WSL

wsl --install -d Ubuntu

5. Search WSL in the start menu and open it
6. Inside the WSL shell, download and install the proxy application:

wget -c https://github.com/runopsio/rproxy/releases/download/0.2.0/rproxy_0.2.0_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz -O - | tar -xz
chmod +x rproxy

7. Now start the proxy

cp /mnt/c/.runops/config $HOME/.runops/
./rproxy postgres -c <YOUR DATABASE NAME HERE>

8. Open your database client and create a connection with the data:

• Hostname: 127.0.0.1
• Username: runops
• Password: runops
• Port: 5433

Repeat steps 3 and 7 to restart your connection. For security reasons Runops asks you to login again every few hours. Repeating these steps reestablishes your connection.
