can't create table on new db/schema/user

What I have:

debian 10
postgresql 11.7-0+deb10u1

What I did:

sudo -s
mkdir /var/lib/postgresql/11/ts_chris
chown postgres: /var/lib/postgresql/11/ts_chris
chmod 700 /var/lib/postgresql/11/ts_chris

su - postgres -c psql
create user "chris" with login password '***' connection limit -1;
create tablespace "ts_chris" owner chris location '/var/lib/postgresql/11/ts_chris';
alter tablespace ts_chris owner to chris;
create database db_chris owner = automicuser template = template0 encoding = "UTF-8" tablespace = ts_chris lc_collate = "C" lc_ctype = "C" connection limit = -1 ;
create schema s_chris authorization "chris";
alter role chris in database db_chris set search_path to s_chris;
grant usage on schema s_chris to chris;
grant create on schema s_chris to chris;

What I tried:

psql -h lxc05 db_chris chris

db_chris=> create table t1 (i int);
ERROR: no schema has been selected to create in
LINE 1: create table t1 (i int);
^
Debugging attempts:

search_path

(1 row)

So, what did I miss?

Kind regards, Chris
