You might ask on the Kali support forums. The database setup scripts for Metasploit are maintained by the Kali packaging team. Thanks!

Hi,

Try this when you're facing DB error for metasploit Kali linux 2018.2 (which i'm using right now):

Failed to connect to the database: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "msf"
FATAL: password authentication failed for user "msf"

OR

Failed to connect to the database: could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "localhost" (::1) and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5433?

1. root@kali:/usr/share/metasploit-framework/config# msfdb reinit
2. root@kali:/usr/share/metasploit-framework/config# cp database.yml /root/.msf4/
3. root@kali:/usr/share/metasploit-framework/config# service postgresql restart
4. root@kali:/usr/share/metasploit-framework/config# msfconsole
   these few steps work for me!!!

I was trying out Kali running on the new Windows 10 Subsystem for Linux and tried to setup the db with systemctl which failed. The above worked perfectly. Thanks :)

1. msfdb reinit

Termux is not officially supported. #11023

However, Metasploit reportedly does work with Termux.
