Installation¶

Install the plugin¶

The plugin is available from the official QGIS plugin repository. In QGIS, go to Plugins > Manage and Install Plugins... and search for PG service parser.

pg_service.conf location¶

If your pg_service.conf file is located at one of the default locations, the plugin will find it automatically:

• Linux: /home/YOUR_USER/.pg_service.conf
• Windows: %APPDATA%\postgresql\.pg_service.conf

If your file is elsewhere, set the PGSERVICEFILE environment variable pointing to your file path before opening the plugin.

Clients like QGIS will directly read your pg_service.conf file from any of these locations and you'll be able to use any service from this file in the New Connection dialog (see QGIS docs).

Create a pg_service.conf file¶

If you don't have a pg_service.conf file, the plugin allows you to create one at a default location.
