Thread: ownership of "/var/run/postgresql"

Hi,

we run 9.6 postgresql DB on Linux box. We run as different user than postgres. To get it to work we had to chown
/var/run/postgresqlto be owned by the process user.  

Upgraded to 11 and now we see that file

/var/run/postgresql changes ownership to postgres:postgres on reboot , even though postgresql-11.service is disabled.

What is doing it and is it possible to disable it?

Thanks,
Dmitry

That's /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/postgresql.conf (or similar). Don't
edit that file, see "man 5 tmpfiles.d" on how to override that
file and general info on the format.

Christoph
