I'm not quite sure: isn't there still the "old method" that doesn't
require postgres?

Yes, but the UI offers the new way and makes the new way the default, so
users will experience badness/crashes.

Could you give an example of such a situation? If they installed Glom
then they probably want what Glom needs.

One problem you probably do have is that the regular debian/Ubuntu
postgres installation causes a postgres instance to be run at start up
(though the user can stop it in the Services control panel). That makes
sense if you install postgres directly, but it's not needed or used by
Glom.

That's an idea, but I want self-hosting to be the default, not an
additional option.
