You need postgres user for sure.
Postgresql database doesn't run on root account.

Hi!
I am about to install PostgreSQL on a minimal Linux system, where root
is the only user that is allowed to exist. I would prefer to use a
binary installer. Is it possible to install PostgreSQL without the
postgres user?
