I try to use modoboa-admin with a modoboa system user, and use ident auth in PostgreSQL, but modoboa-admin for localhost as default host for the database

See the output


(modoboa)modoboa@puma:/srv/django/modoboa$ modoboa-admin.py deploy modoboa_kryskool --syncdb --collectstatic
Configuring database connection: default
Database type (mysql or postgres): postgres
Database host (default: localhost):  
Database name: modoboa
Username: modoboa
Password: 
Under which domain do you want to deploy modoboa? kryskool.org
OperationalError: could not translate host name " " to address: Name or service not known

python manage.py syncdb --migrate --noinput failed, check your configuration
OperationalError: could not translate host name " " to address: Name or service not known

python manage.py loaddata initial_users.json failed, check your configuration
(modoboa)modoboa@puma:/srv/django/modoboa$ psql modoboa
psql (9.2.4)

modoboa=>

With PostgreSQL the database must be empty in the settings.py file, to use ident (without password)
