When installing region or rack+region modes, MAAS needs a PostgreSQL database to connect to.
If you want to set up PostgreSQL for a non-production deployment on this machine, and configure it for use with MAAS, you can install the maas-test-db snap before running maas init:
sudo snap install maas-test-db
sudo maas init region+rack --database-uri maas-test-db:///
