Your weight?
As low as you can ride without a curb hitting through to the rim. Lower is better.
I ride the front at 2psi and rear at 5 on all surfaces. In snow I go lower. You need good fronttire that doesn't self-steer. I weigh 175#

Good advice from Herrk, you really have to do some trial and error. One thing nice about this is that it won't cost you a penny. Everyone has a different satisfaction on results. But low single digits sounds about right.
BTW, which tires and rims are you using?

Trail riding... you will need to experiment. I find if I ride trails with the really low pressures I ride for snow (3-4 psi) I’m bouncing all over the place like a beach ball or pogo stick, I am currently running around around 6-8 to 7-9 (f-r).
I am 175 lbs on 4.0s so your pressures may vary.
