I have a simple Docker Compose file to initialize a Postgres DB Instance:
version: '3.8'
services:
my-database:
container_name: my-database
image: library/postgres:13.1
volumes:
- ./db/init-my-database.sql:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/init-db-01.sql
environment:
- POSTGRES_DB=my-database
- POSTGRES_USER=admin
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password
ports:
- 10040:5432
restart: always
networks:
- app-network
And my script init-my-database.sql looks like this:
DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS myschema;
CREATE DATABASE myschema;
-- Make sure we're using our `myschema` database
\c myschema;
CREATE SEQUENCE IF NOT EXISTS recipient_seq
START WITH 1
MINVALUE 1
MAXVALUE 9223372036854775807
CACHE 1;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS recipient
(
id BIGINT NOT NULL,
recipient_id VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
first_name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
middle_name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
last_name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT recipient_pk PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
When I tail the Docker logs I do see that the initialization script is being called. However, towards the end the database is shutdown and restarted --> " received fast shutdown request "
Why is the database restarted at the end? As the database and table created in the script is not available anymore.

Put simply, this happens on purpose; the author does it as part of the initialization.
It looks like some answers can be found in the image's entrypoint shell script:
_main() {
# if first arg looks like a flag, assume we want to run postgres server
if [ "${1:0:1}" = '-' ]; then
set -- postgres "$@"
fi
if [ "$1" = 'postgres' ] && ! _pg_want_help "$@"; then
docker_setup_env
# setup data directories and permissions (when run as root)
docker_create_db_directories
if [ "$(id -u)" = '0' ]; then
# then restart script as postgres user
exec gosu postgres "$BASH_SOURCE" "$@"
fi
# only run initialization on an empty data directory
if [ -z "$DATABASE_ALREADY_EXISTS" ]; then
docker_verify_minimum_env
# check dir permissions to reduce likelihood of half-initialized database
ls /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/ > /dev/null
docker_init_database_dir
pg_setup_hba_conf
# PGPASSWORD is required for psql when authentication is required for 'local' connections via pg_hba.conf and is otherwise harmless
# e.g. when '--auth=md5' or '--auth-local=md5' is used in POSTGRES_INITDB_ARGS
export PGPASSWORD="${PGPASSWORD:-$POSTGRES_PASSWORD}"
docker_temp_server_start "$@"
docker_setup_db
docker_process_init_files /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/*
docker_temp_server_stop
unset PGPASSWORD
echo
echo 'PostgreSQL init process complete; ready for start up.'
echo
else
echo
echo 'PostgreSQL Database directory appears to contain a database; Skipping initialization'
echo
fi
fi
exec "$@"
}
As for "why?" I think it's because of desire to run as a less-privileged user.
You can "solve" the problem by specifying a volume in the Compose file like so:
volumes:
- ./data/pgsql:/var/lib/postgresql/data
Then, it will skip the routine to ensure DATABASE_ALREADY_EXISTS
.
Or, if that's not helpful--you can dig into the entrypoint script a bit more.
Thanks for the above tip from @TorEHagermann ( https://stackoverflow.com/a/65417566/5631863 ) I was able to resolve the problem.
The solution was to include the following:
volumes:
- ./data/pgsql:/var/lib/postgresql/data
Also, in my case, I needed to clear and refresh the data every time I started the container. So, I included the following in my shell script to delete the drive /data/pgsql :
rm -rf data
With that change, my docker-compose file looks like: version: '3.8'
services:
my-database:
container_name: my-database
image: library/postgres:13.1
volumes:
- ./db/init-my-database.sql:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/init-db-01.sql
- ./data/pgsql:/var/lib/postgresql/data
environment:
- POSTGRES_DB=my-database
- POSTGRES_USER=admin
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password
ports:
- 10040:5432
restart: always
networks:
- app-network
As mentioned above, the restart is intentional. The reason is that changes in some of the database server settings need restart to take effect. The entrypoint init script is a convenient place for the queries that change these settings.
eg
ALTER SYSTEM SET max_connections = 300;
