 ===== Database =====
-For the time being, Vigilia only supports [[http://www.tokutek.com/tokumx-for-mongodb/|TokuMX]].
+For the time being, Vigilia only supports TokuMX.
 It is a fork of MongoDB, which features mind boggling increase in performance and reduction in the database size.
 (The choice was not made lightly; we tried many databases before settling with this one.)
-TokuMX is supported on **64-bit Linux only**, but virtual image should work too.

 We recommend to use SSD drives, as their increased speed directly translate in how fast Vigilia will react.
 to 500 Go should be plenty of space to store many years of data for networks composed of hundreds of thousands of objects. (Tokumx compression is really useful for this!)
+To install TokuMX, add the following [[https://launchpad.net/~exponea/+archive/ubuntu/tokumx|PPA]] and enter the following in your shell :

+<code> sudo apt install tokumx-enterprise </code>
+(Alternatively, you can try to follow the official instructions on this [[https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-tokumx/installation.html|page]].)
+Once the database is installed, make sure everything works as intended by running the command
+**mongo** in the shell.
+The command should be recognized AND it should connect successfully.

+==== (Upstart Users) ====
 You might want to make sure the Vigilia server always starts as soon as the server boots, or that it restores itself in case of a crash.

+===== Troubleshooting =====
+==== Database Crash ====
+If you database is becoming quite large (thousands of files in the dbpath), it's possible that your OS is going to refuse opening that much files simultaneously.
+In Linux, you can change the number of allowed files by editing the file ''/etc/security/limits.conf'' and adding the following lines :

+tokumx soft nofile 1000000
+tokumx hard nofile 1000000
