I have this err

The global MFA database server does not exist, initializing it first.
pg_ctl stdout: 
pg_ctl stderr: initdb: error: cannot be run as root
initdb: hint: Please log in (using, e.g., "su") as the (unprivileged) user that will own the server process.

There was an error encountered starting the global MFA database server, please see /root/Documents/MFA/pg_init_log_global.txt for more details and/or look at the logged errors above.

I'm having the same issue:

The global MFA database server does not exist, initializing it first.
pg_ctl stdout:
pg_ctl stderr: initdb: error: cannot be run as root
initdb: hint: Please log in (using, e.g., "su") as the (unprivileged) user that will own the server process.

I did try this as suggested:

!adduser mfa
!usermod -aG sudo mfa
!su mfa

but it didn't work :( I'd appreciate any suggestions .
