How to setup postgresql 9.6.3 autostart in Ubuntu server 16.04?

Question

PostgreSQL

After installing the database, it starts at startup with the database stored in the default directory.
As far as I understand, autorun is written somewhere in /etc/init.d/postgres,
but I can’t find the PGDATA parameter there to change the base directory in autorun.
How can I change it so that the server starts with the database I need?

Answer 1

everything is easier. Database directories are registered in /etc/postgresql/9.6/postgresql.conf there at the very beginning. If you want to transfer the database, I can write how, because it won’t work there to transfer the folder stupidly
