It could be postgresql needs to run some commands before starting daemon first time (like initialize database on disk)

It doesn't get linked to /var/postgresql but /var/service
ln -sf /etc/sv/postgresql /var/service

Since you linked it to /var/postgresql may need to remove that dir and reinstall postgresql

Should the link to activate the service not be:
ln -s /etc/runit/sv/postgresql /run/runit/service

I think Void linux uses /etc/sv and /var/serivce, but Artix uses /etc/runit/sv and /run/runit/service

yes, for Artix ln -s /etc/runit/sv/postgresql /run/runit/service is the correct procedure
