initdb: warning: enabling "trust" authentication for local connections
You can change this by editing pg_hba.conf or using the option -A, or
--auth-local and --auth-host, the next time you run initdb.

Success. You can now start the database server using:

    /gnu/store/2yj5sbnqdhxpn47cd2gzi9s8gvl35h9y-postgresql-13.12/bin/pg_ctl -D /var/lib/postgresqt
