Starting PostgreSQL with systemctl fails

root@peace /h/ciembor# systemctl start postgresql
Failed to get D-Bus connection: No connection to service manager.

What can I do with that?

//edit

OK, I already run it with

systemctl enable postgresql.service

and restart. But now I get

could not connect to server: No such file or directory
    Is the server running locally and accepting
    connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

when I try to create user.

Re: Starting PostgreSQL with systemctl fails

Sounds like you are using a custom kernel without the required features for running systemd (e.g. CGROUPS, AUTOFS4 or thelike) enabled. Double-check your /var/log/kernel.log and messages.log
