How do you setup PostgreSQL on Runit?

Hello,
I downloaded
Code: [Select]
postgresql && postgresql-runit
After that I did this:
Code: [Select]
sudo ln -s /etc/runit/sv/postgresql /run/runit/service

After a reboot I started the service via
Code: [Select]
sudo sv start postgres (I also tried it with postgresql)
and it seemed to work, but after a
Code: [Select]
sudo sv status postgres
it always tells me that the service is down and I can`t create a user/database.
I followed the arch-installation until
Code: [Select]
sudo systemctl enable --now postgresql.service
.

Some information about my System:
  • Kernel-Version: 5.12.14-artix1.1 (64-bit)
  • Postgres-version: 13.3

I hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance!

I'm able to reproduce the issue here.

Running PostgreSQL manually:

Code: [Select]
$ sudo sh -c 'cd /etc/runit/sv/postgresql/ && exec sh -x ./run'
+ [ -r conf ]
+ . ./conf
+ PGROOT=/var/lib/postgres
+ PGLOG=/var/log/postgresql.log
+ INITOPTS=-A peer --auth-host=md5 --auth-local=peer --locale en_US.UTF-8
+ : /var/lib/postgres/data
+ [ /var/lib/postgres != /var/lib/postgres ]
+ [ ! -d /var/lib/postgres/data ]
+ exec chpst -u postgres:postgres postgres -D /var/lib/postgres/data
2021-07-10 10:50:41.123 -03 [20760] LOG:  starting PostgreSQL 13.3 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (GCC) 11.1.0, 64-bit

2021-07-10 10:50:41.180 -03 [20760] LOG:  database system is shut down

I then added the following line to the end of the conf in /etc/runit/sv/postgresql/conf so it'd create the folder it's complaining about not existing:

Code: [Select]
mkdir -p /run/postgresql/ && chown postgres:postgres /run/postgresql

Now it starts successfully here (both from sv start and manually).

Code: [Select]
sudo sh -c 'cd /etc/runit/sv/postgresql/ && exec sh -x ./run'
+ [ -r conf ]
+ . ./conf
+ PGROOT=/var/lib/postgres
+ PGLOG=/var/log/postgresql.log
+ INITOPTS=-A peer --auth-host=md5 --auth-local=peer --locale en_US.UTF-8
+ mkdir -p /run/postgresql/
+ chown postgres:postgres /run/postgresql
+ : /var/lib/postgres/data
+ [ /var/lib/postgres != /var/lib/postgres ]
+ [ ! -d /var/lib/postgres/data ]
+ exec chpst -u postgres:postgres postgres -D /var/lib/postgres/data

Thank you very much! My issue was that I kept running my service
Code: [Select]
sudo sv start postgresql
in the background. After stopping it and restarting it, I could succesfully create my user and a database!

Was that the only issue, or did my suggestion help?

You totally solved my Problem. I wrote another answer, because after running your command, it showed me that an lockfile already exists and that there may be another one running this service. But after I
Code: [Select]
sudo mv stop postgresql
and then start it again it worked. But that was not the original solution, as I tried that multiple times yesterday.
