Create postgres cluster and start it

pg_createcluster 11 {clustername}
pg_ctlcluster 11 {clustername} start

Path for conf files: /etc/postgresql/11/{clustername}

The port of the first cluster will be 5433, it will increment with the number of clusters.

Edit conf files

vi /etc/postgresql/11/{clustername}/postgresql.conf

• Uncomment listen_addresses ...
• exchange localhost with *

Restart cluster

pg_ctlcluster 11 {clustername} restart

Install first db on cluster

su postgres
createuser -S -D -R -P -p 5433 {dbusername}
createdb -p 5433 -O {dbusername} db1 -E utf-8
psql -p 5433 -d db1 -c 'CREATE EXTENSION postgis'
psql -p 5433 -d db1 -c 'CREATE EXTENSION postgis_topology'
psql -p 5433 -d db1 -f /usr/share/postgresql/11/contrib/postgis-2.5/legacy.sql
psql -p 5433 -d db1 -c 'CREATE SCHEMA {schemaname}'
psql -p 5433 -d db1 -c 'ALTER DATABASE db1 SET search_path TO {schemaname},public'
