I've been playing around with Postgres.app, and while it works well, it does hide some of the server-side stuff and configuration.
What is the best way to run PostgreSQL on the Mac that mirrors the Linux workflow? I'm not doing anything too complex.
Thank you.

I used a download from Enterprisedb. Make sure you add the location of
the installation to the PATH because Macs come with a partial
installation of Postgres pre-installed and you want your installation to
be in the path so your shell commands and front-end commands (e.g.,
psql, pgAdmin, LibreOffice, etc.) will work properly.

Thanks. I'll look into that.
As for the Docker suggestion, I should probably spend some time learning how to use it correctly, but for the time being, I'm going down this route while I get everything up and running, and I can worry about Docker later.
Simon.

Hi,
Not sure why you want to run the database from a mac? Just being curious
Much better running from a server? You can get a cloud server with your
choice of OS (I suggest Fedora or Arch) from linode for $20/month to do
your testing? It comes with 80GB data storage. If your data needs are
substantial and on prem server with zfs (again arch as the base system)
will be more suitable.
Macs are great (I have been a user for decades), but they 'cripple'
Unix, so you don't get the full advantage.

Hi, there.
Also curious to know what your use case might be. If it's just to test
things as needed, pgenv is good for that. The tool can be found in git
(theory/pgenv).
Kind regards,
Jim

Hi,
I'm just doing basic web development. I could use Linode (they already host a couple of blogs for me), but since I'm still playing around with PostgreSQL, I'd rather just do it on my Mac for the time being.

Hombebrew is a good option. I'm using it in development and production without any problems. I previously used CentOS, and don't find the workflow to be much different.
