[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] openstreetmap-website official install instruction DB issue (#2045)

[Andy Allan]

You are trying to configure the database as "root", which is definitely not recommended. 

The instructions say "We need to create a PostgreSQL role (i.e. user account) for your current user" so please try again, but with a normal user account, and use that username when creating the postgresql superuser. So for example, if you are logged in as a user called "bob", e.g.

```
bob at debian:~/openstreetmap-website$
```

Then you would run

```
sudo -u postgres -i
createuser -s bob
exit
```

and you would change the `config/database.yml` to have `username: bob`. Of course, you can use any user account to do this, "bob" is just an example.
