I’m setting up dev environment on Ubuntu (WSL2) and I installed PostgreSQL using `asdf`. now `db:create` complains that socket can’t be found at path `/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432`. But for me the socket is at `/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432`. Where can I configure correct path? discourse.config doesn’t seem to have any effect.
