What is the best user to install PostgreSQL under?

Question

linux

Am I understanding this section of the documentation correctly?

The best way to install would be to create a postgresowner user who will take ownership of the executables. Then, during the installation process, a user will be automatically created under which the daemon will run.

Answer 1

In 99.99999999999999% of cases, the distribution's package manager knows perfectly well which user to install what.

Answer 2

When you install PostgreSQL on Linux, the postgres user will be automatically created and will become the owner of the database cluster files.

Answer 3

Sudo apt... the system will figure it out on its own
