IIRC, by default, Pg starts with SSL activated - so, IF you need it, you
MUST give it's primitives the right path & files (ssl_cert_file,
ssl_key_file, ssl_crl_file, etc, into the 'postgresql.conf' file) or if
you do not need it and the machine is trusted (ie: nginx is reaching
your PG DB on localhost AND this will not change for a looong time)
either uncomment the :
#ssl = off
line to stop SSL.

HINT: Leave /etc/postgresql/<VER_NUM>/main/postgresql.conf alone, copy
it into /etc/postgresql/<VER_NUM>/main/conf.d/ and work only on
this one. As this file will be read as the last one, it will
supersede any primitive of the original file.
You can also cut it in pieces if it is easier for you.
