The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/server-start.html
Description:

The url of the document is
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/server-start.html
My suggestion is add to the documentation in the segment that shows the
systemd entry inside the [Unit] segment the line
After=network-online.target

I saw in several sites that most people recommends using
After=network.target

but this will fail if the server is configured to listen on a specific IP
address instead of just localhost or 127.0.0.1
the differences between them is explained here
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/NetworkTarget/#conceptsinsystemd
TLDR; network.target is after the network is up (but presumably without
address set, just the network stack)  and network-online.target is after an
IP address has been set.

Pablo.
