postgres only in local socket

In config:

With something like this, I can see using netstat:

listen_addresses=''

assuming you only want only local unix domain sockets (and not localhost TCP/IP)

that seems to work here.

Uncomment the listen line and fill it with a comma separated list of
IPs to listen on. Or take Jasen's advice, if that fits your need.

Set in your postgresql.conf:

listen_addresses = ''

(uncomment this line and set the value to '')
