I mean, Once I change the hostname then how will the socket read the new hostname ? Does it require a postgres service restart ?

On Ubuntu 22.04 install, given:
srwxrwxrwx 1 postgres postgres 0 Apr 22 14:01 .s.PGSQL.5432=
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 68 Apr 22 14:01 .s.PGSQL.5432.lock
The contents of .s.PGSQL.5432.lock(the file that indicates a Postgres
instance has a lock on the socket) are:
862
/var/lib/postgresql/15/main
1713795311
5432
/var/run/postgresql
There is no hostname to be changed as you are working with a local socket.
