I can tell you at least one problem right off. Ubuntu 20.04 doesn't use
/var/run but /run. In fact, there IS NO /var/run directory! I had to
deal with the same thing for another program. I wound up just making a
symlink of /run in /var/run (i.e. ln -s /run /var/run) and that solved
the issue.  But you don't have to do that. Since your config shows
/var/run/postgresql then change it to /run/postgresql and see if that
doesn't help.
