Hello,
This should be the same as any stand alone Postgres DB with Qlik Sense. Here is the official Qlik Documentation:
https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-admin/May2021/Subsystems/DeployAdministerQSE/Content/Sense_DeployAdminister/QSEoW/Deploy_QSEoW/Installing-configuring-postgresql.htm

If you need to move an existing to an external Postgres DB, here are a list of steps I found from the community:
https://community.qlik.com/t5/Knowledge/How-to-configure-Qlik-Sense-to-use-a-standalone-PostgreSQL/ta-p/1791775

I have done this before, if you have a question on anything specific, please feel free to ask. Good Luck -

@GovindGSC @Qlik_Administrator_Dude all Qlik documentation is for Windows platform only.

Could you please help me with steps for migrating existing local Qlik Sense install to Dedicated Linux Node.

Hello TusharDev_Qlik

You may want to try to open your own thread.

I have run Postgres on non windows before. I don't think there are any special tricks. The steps should be very similar to what the 'Stand Alone' Postgres steps are. Try posting errors in a new thread so we can try to work them out. Feel free to tag me. Thanks -
