When installing from a package, the launch of the PostgreSQL Creating a new role (user)
cluster is added to the OS startup settings. Therefore, after loading # create user <us​​er​n​a​me> with password '123456';
the operating system, you do not need to start PostgreSQL separa​‐ # alter user <us​ern​ame> with SUPERUSER;
tely. or
Managing the PostgreSQL service $sudo -u postgres createuser --inte​ractive

$ sudo systemctl start | stop | restart postgresql

You can explicitly control the cluster with the following commands:
$ sudo pg_ctl​cluster 15 main start | stop | restart | status | reload
