I’m probably not the right person to help with this issue, but can you confirm that you installed Discourse on your local server by following this guide: Beginners Guide to Install Discourse on Ubuntu for Development?

I’m assuming that you are creating a local development site and not a production site.

What distro are you running? That setup will work on latest Ubuntu and latest LTS Ubuntu.

If you are running an older version you will need to add a PostgreSQL PPA in order to get a more recent version.

Could this be a postgres version issue? Looks like we need postgres >= 9.6 ?

What version is recommended?

PostgreSQL 13 is the recommended.

Upgrading to postgres:10 allows the installation to proceed
