One option you should seriously consider is using Docker to containerize your postgres installation. The installation thinks it has root access but you don't need any rights beyond the standard user role that way you can use the standard builds without changes. This assumes you're running under Linux.

Hello,
I need to install postgres without root privileges. I have a postgres user in our companies AD.
Below are my questions n concerns:
1. Is there a website you will refer other the postgres documentation, the one on postgres website is confusing
2. What is the default location of postgress install from a source code? i.e if I run rmp -ivh <rpm name> where will it install by default? can this be changed ?
3. Important parameters I need to change ? I am planning to have different drive location for my data directory or any important parameter, please let me know.
