Install Debian packages without starting daemons

Would this be a good fit for preventing Postgres from starting on Ubuntu? In the past with ansible I've had to install it, stop it, move the DB files to the non-default location of my choice, change the configs, and start it up again. Would have been easier to skip a couple of those steps.

I had the same issue. There is another solution for postgres.

Install postgresql-common first. Edit /etc/postresql-common/createcluster.conf to disable creation of the cluster on install (or change the options used to create the cluster) and then install postgresql-x.y

Unless you were happy with the default configuration, in which case it is much easier not having to start the thing manually.

What's the current Ubuntu equivalent of services.msc ?
