The initdb command is one of the important steps for starting PostgreSQL.<\/p>\n
Cluster is created when initdb is made, and template, template1 and postgres databases are created when initdb is made.<\/p>\n
You can think of the Template1 database as a template.<\/p>\n
If nothing is specified while creating the database, template1 creates the database by copying the configurations in the database.<\/p>\n
\/usr\/pgsql-13\/bin\/initdb -D \/var\/lib\/pgsql\/13\/data\/\r\n<\/pre>\nWith this command, we can initdb or create a cluster in a different directory.<\/p>\n
But if we are going to create it in a different directory, the postgres user must have permission in that directory.<\/p>\n
You can change the part after initdb if you want (where it is written \/var\/lib\/pgsql\/13\/data)<\/p>\n
We made initdb, we created our cluster, but there are still two different methods for our PostgreSQL to be standing, not standing. Keep reading my other articles for two methods.<\/p>\n
