After this command 'sudo -u postgres psql'

What’s the reason that you’re using the OS user postgres?

Because the Debian/Ubuntu packaging sets up pg_hba.conf to use peer auth for local connections and the only database user created is postgres.

See:

https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/databases-postgresql

for more information.

If you’re simply trying to connect to the database named postgres as database user postgres, you can instead use the command 'psql -U postgres postgres’.
