Vagrant and Postgres on Mac M1 Monterey - psql: error: connection to server on socket

Question

I am moving from an Intel Mac to one running M1. I am trying to get Vagrant running using Laravel Homestead and Parallels.

When I run

vagrant up

everything runs as expected until it tries to provision PostgreSQL. At that point, I run into the error:

==> machine2018: Running provisioner: Creating Postgres Database: socket_wrench (shell)...

machine2018: Running: script: Creating Postgres Database: socket_wrench

machine2018: createdb: error: could not connect to database template1: connection to server on socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432" failed: No such file or directory machine2018: Is the server running locally and accepting connections on that socket?

The SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status. Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed. The output for this command should be in the log above. Please read the output to determine what went wrong.

Despite ensuring Postgres is running locally on my Mac AND running out of /var/run/postgresql (instead of the default /tmp), I still get this message. And the same is true when I vagrant ssh into my box.

pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres restart
