postgresql_home_dir

[ayadahm]

Changing the default home directory for postgres to other than /var/lib/postgresql in ubuntu won't work. is this known issue ?

[vitabaks]

when installing postgresql packages, a postgres user is automatically created with his home directory. If you want to specify a different home directory, you need to create a user first or explicitly change the home directory for an already created user.

But I haven't tried to change it because I don't see the need for it.

Yes .
I changed the home directory afterwards exactly as you said.

Many thanks 😊
