The problem might be that you have to do the initdb after "systemctl start postgresql-10.service".
No. You definitely need to initialize the database cluster before you try starting it.

This made-up command is the problem.
After some searching I found this:
The section titled: "MULTIPLE POSTMASTERS (For the same PostgreSQL version)"
Though, if you don't care about systemd just ignore all the RPM-specific stuff and follow the instructions in the PostgreSQL documentation. IOW, don't use "postgresql-10-setup".
