The issue was caused by using peer authentication during initial setup, which requires the system user to match the PostgreSQL user. When running as 'samo' but trying to connect as 'postgres', peer authentication would fail. Changes: - Use 'trust' authentication during initdb instead of 'peer' - Switch to 'md5' authentication for local connections in pg_hba.conf - Add proper postgres superuser password setup during initial creation This resolves the "Peer authentication failed for user 'postgres'" error and allows successful database and user creation.
