From: Tom Lane Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2022 14:51:11 +0000 (-0400) Subject: Doc: improve recommended systemd unit file. X-Git-Tag: REL_15_1~49 X-Git-Url: http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=42d203ccfa8741ca8086e33f98aaa6c169063ef7;p=postgresql.git Doc: improve recommended systemd unit file. Add After=network-online.target Wants=network-online.target to the suggested unit file for starting a Postgres server. This delays startup until the network interfaces have been configured; without that, any attempt to bind to a specific IP address will fail. If listen_addresses is set to "localhost" or "*", it might be possible to get away with the less restrictive "network.target", but I don't think we need to get into such detail here. Per suggestion from Pablo Federico.
