systemctl start postgresql-11
Plus I've run systemctl enable postgresql-11

Not sure what's happend. Re-installed a second time. Now it has survived
pass three reboots and seems happy. Was just odd that there wasn't any
error message as to why it failed.

As an aside to the person asking about changing back the hostname.
I re-installed using the new hostname and it still failed once.

Thanks for everyone's feedback.
Seems to be happy again.
