Description of issue

I have used postgresql in the past (not with brew) and the default credentials are user:postgres pass:postgres

How do I connect to it now with homebrew? (I'm using pgAdmin latest)

$ psql -U postgres psql: error: connection to server on socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432" failed: FATAL: role "postgres" does not exist

The default username is your own OS username (the output of whoami).

As suggested in the caveats (run brew info postgresql@15 to see), the default database cluster is created with initdb --locale=C -E UTF-8 $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/var/postgresql@15. The username is not speficied in the command, so it defaults to your OS username.

Oh I see. That explains a lot. All sorted.

The above work, i ran psql -U user -d postgres, user is my pc username, (run whoami to know user), then add -d postgres for the database

[carlrempel]

This is the magic key: -d postgres
