# The command finds the most recent tag that is reachable from a commit. | |
# If the tag points to the commit, then only the tag is shown. | |
# Otherwise, it suffixes the tag name with the number of additional commits on top of the tagged object | |
# and the abbreviated object name of the most recent commit. | |
git describe | |
# With --abbrev set to 0, the command can be used to find the closest tagname without any suffix: | |
git describe --abbrev=0 | |

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

The connection failed because by default psql
connects over UNIX sockets using peer
authentication, that requires the current UNIX user to have the same user name as psql
. So you will have to create the UNIX user postgres
and then login as postgres
or use sudo -u postgres psql database-name
for accessing the database (and psql
should not ask for a password).
If you cannot or do not want to create the UNIX user, like if you just want to connect to your database for ad hoc queries, forcing a socket connection using psql --host=localhost --dbname=database-name --username=postgres
(as pointed out by @meyerson answer) will solve your immediate problem.
But if you intend to force password authentication over Unix sockets instead of the peer method, try changing the following pg_hba.conf
