But regardless of the solution, and given how simple & streamlined the install path/directions are, it seems to me to make sense to have some way of doing this that doesn't involve having to read through the setup script. That could be a simpler option, or it could just be a footnote on the install page, next to the initdb command, something like: Optionally initialize the database and enable automatic start: /usr/pgsql-11/bin/postgresql-11-setup initdb (*) systemctl enable postgresql-11 systemctl start postgresql-11 (*) Some options for initializing the database can't be changed later (except by wiping out and reinitializing). You can specify options by running export PGSETUP_INITDB_OPTIONS="<your options>" before running this command. See <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/app-initdb.html> for options.
