First time install and I'm getting the error below when I try to run rendered as render account.

My test box is smaller so I imported each US state one by one. Not sure if this has an effect or not.

"permission denied for relation planet_osm_polygon" implies that the accounts used for part of the installation didn't match the account used for another part. I'm guessing that you're following https://switch2osm.org/manually-building-a-tile-server-18-04-lts/ , perhaps recheck what accoun you used for each part of that? Maybe you did some things as root and therefore can't access them as a non-root user?

What account should be used through that guide? Not sure it's clear if I should be root or renderaccount. Should I delete and re-install? Is rendered run by root or render account?

From memory, everything to be done as root has a "sudo" at the front, such as "sudo apt-get install ...". If you type in the commands as written, everything will work.

As written, the guide uses a Linux user account called "renderaccount" to run things like renderd from. The postgres side of things is handled at "ALTER TABLE geometry_columns OWNER TO renderaccount;" and the Linux system side at "sudo useradd -m renderaccount".

I'm usually logged in as root is that a problem? Or should I make renderaccount part of the sudo group? What account root or renderaccount or Postgres should this command be run at?

osm2pgsql -d gis --create --slim -G --hstore --tag-transform-script ~/src/openstreetmap-carto/openstreetmap-carto.lua -C 1000 --number-processes 1 -S ~/src/openstreetmap-carto/openstreetmap-carto.style ~/data/delaware-latest.osm.pbf

You have a Postgres user issue, not a Linux user one: they are separate things. Running 'psql -l' will tell us who owns your gis database.

Re-loading the .osm.pbf files into the PostGIS DB while using the renderaccount fixed the issue.
