There is nothing in the log file except these (not from today, but the messages are always the same):
2020-07-03 16:52:16 CEST 53617 LOG: server process (PID 54070) was terminated by signal 9: Killed
2020-07-03 16:52:16 CEST 53617 DETAIL: Failed process was running: create extension postgis;
2020-07-03 16:52:16 CEST 53617 LOG: terminating any other active server processes

I will take care of the backtrace
