Your akonadiserverrc looks just like mine except i'm still using postgresql 9.6 so \
the Server path and InitDbPath are different and looks like this  \
InitDbPath=/usr/bin/initdb ServerPath=/usr/bin/pg_ctl

Quite a while ago, before my Alternatives config for postgresql set to manual, the \
system was automatically upgraded to postgresql 10 and that didn't work with akonadi \
very well.  I've remained at 9.6 so i can't say if it works fine with postgresql 11.
