Need to disable postgresql service on ubuntu? #904

Closed benbro closed 2 years ago

benbro commented 2 years ago

Should I install the postgresql package before installing the postgresql-14-auto-failover package on Ubuntu 22.04? The docs missing this info. Should we mention the need to install the postgresql package first in the docs?

Installing the normal postgresql package will also enable the posgresql service and start it on boot. The docs says: It is important that PostgreSQL is started by pg_autoctl rather than by systemd itself Does this means that I should disable the postgresql systemd service? Should we add it to the docs?
