On Ubuntu 22.04 install, given:

srwxrwxrwx  1 postgres postgres    0 Apr 22 14:01 .s.PGSQL.5432=
-rw-------  1 postgres postgres   68 Apr 22 14:01 .s.PGSQL.5432.lock

The contents of .s.PGSQL.5432.lock(the file that indicates a Postgres
instance has a lock on the socket) are:

862
/var/lib/postgresql/15/main
1713795311
5432
/var/run/postgresql

There is no hostname to be changed as you are working with a local socket.
