Hello

Another method we use to run multiple postgresql clusters and multiple
versions on the same server is to install extra IPs on the server using
the same (default) port.

If you use this method, it is very important that you define the right
listen_addresses values and different unix_socket_directory values for
each cluster running on the same server.

We connect mostly via tcp/ip and not via sockets, this way the clients
do not have to remember the port running their databases.

Of course the initdb and start steps are the same as Filip has commented.
