# /etc/postgresql/10/main/pg_hba.conf

# Put these above existing
host    all             vagrant         0.0.0.0/0               trust
host    all             vagrant         ::1/128                 trust

Alaveteli does this automatically, but for future ref, creating vagrant as postgres superuser:

sudo -u postgres createuser --createdb --no-createrole --no-superuser 'vagrant'
