### Bug description

I have created a Postgres database created using Herd's Service tab. When I stop that database and try to create a new one I get an error of the port being used.

I've tried checking for a service using that port with no result.

```bash
sudo lsof -i :8080
```

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue from Herd's Service tab on macOS: create a PostgreSQL database, stop it, and create another one. Inspect the service stop and port-allocation behavior; done means stopping the first database releases its port so a new database can be created without the port-in-use error.
