Hello,
I wonder what this variable in initdb is about: POSTGRES_SUPERUSERNAME
Apparently the default should be 'postgres'. However, the value changes with the user that is logged in whenever I use 'initdb --show'. If I login as 'xy' the value is 'xy'. Shouldn't this be a fixed value in the cluster?
Could you tell me, please?
Thank you very much,
Peter Seifert

No, that's exactly the expected behavior. The username of the user who
runs initdb is used.
