The first error is not an error with the credentials, but an error coming from the default behaviour of <code>psql</code> that is trying to use a database name named like the user logging-in. The second command lists tables available.

=== Deploying databases ===
This example shows how to roll out a database with a default user and password:
<pre>
  services.postgresql = {
    enable = true;
    package = pkgs.postgresql100;
    enableTCPIP = true;
    authentication = pkgs.lib.mkOverride 10 ''
      local all all trust
      host all all ::1/128 trust
    '';
    initialScript = pkgs.writeText "backend-initScript" ''
      CREATE ROLE nixcloud WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'nixcloud' CREATEDB;
      CREATE DATABASE nixcloud;
      GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE nixcloud TO nixcloud;
    '';
</pre>
To debug the SQL statements futher, one can use '''systemctl cat postgresql''' and see the '''ExecStartPost=/nix/store/rnv1v95bbf2lsy9ncwg7jdwj2s71sqra-unit-script/bin/postgresql-post-start''' line. Then open it with `cat` on the shell and see the '''psql''' command.
Then execute the complete statement on the shell, as:
<pre>
/nix/store/3mqha1naji34i6iv78i90hc20dx0hld9-sudo-1.8.20p2/bin/sudo -u postgres psql -f "/nix/store/az5nglyw7j94blxwkn2rmpi2p6z9fbmy-backend-initScript" --port=5432 -d postgres
psql:/nix/store/az5nglyw7j94blxwkn2rmpi2p6z9fbmy-backend-initScript:1: ERROR:  syntax error at or near "-"
LINE 1: CREATE ROLE nixcloud-admin WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'nixcloud' CR...
                            ^
psql:/nix/store/az5nglyw7j94blxwkn2rmpi2p6z9fbmy-backend-initScript:2: ERROR:  database "nixcloud-db1" already exists
psql:/nix/store/az5nglyw7j94blxwkn2rmpi2p6z9fbmy-backend-initScript:3: ERROR:  syntax error at or near "-"
LINE 1: ...ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE "nixcloud-db1" TO nixcloud-admin;
                                                                ^
