What’s the reason that you’re using the OS user postgres?
Because the Debian/Ubuntu packaging sets up pg_hba.conf to use peer auth
for local connections and the only database user created is postgres.
See:
https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/databases-postgresql
for more information.
If you’re simply trying to connect to the database named postgres as database user postgres, you can instead use the command 'psql -U postgres postgres’.
