ignoring /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d error for Postgres database in a configuration that previously worked

Question

I have been battling with this issue for a few days now and I'm stumped. It's probably something simple I've overlooked.

I have a docker-project written using docker-compose. The file is here docker-compose.yml

version: '3'

services:
  vdb:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: vdb_docker.df
    ports:
      - "33060:3306"
    expose:
      - "33060"
  vvta:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: vvta_docker.df
    ports:
      - "54320:5432"
    expose:
      - "54320"
  seqrepo:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: vvsr_docker.df
    volumes:
      - seqdata:/usr/local/share/seqrepo
  vv:
    build: .
    depends_on:
      - vdb
      - vvta
    volumes:
      - seqdata:/usr/local/share/seqrepo
      - share:/usr/local/share

volumes:
  share:
    driver: local
    driver_opts:
      type: 'none'
      o: 'bind'
      device: '${HOME}/variantvalidator_data/share'
  seqdata:
    driver: local
    driver_opts:
      type: 'none'
      o: 'bind'
      device: '${HOME}/variantvalidator_data/share/seqrepo'

The build process imports severaldockerfiles but the relevant one is vvta_docker.df

FROM postgres:latest

ENV POSTGRES_DB=vvta

ENV POSTGRES_USER=vvta_admin

ENV POSTGRES_PASSWORD=vvta_admin

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y wget && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

RUN wget https://www528.lamp.le.ac.uk/vvdata/vvta/VVTA_2021_2_noseq.psql.gz -O /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/VVTA_2021_2_noseq.psql.gz

This configuration worked fine for a previous build of the database. Note, the address for the database is contained in the vvta_docker.df file if needed. The build process is (in-draft) documented in DOCKER.md and I always "prune" all containers while building test releases.

- Pull images

```bash
$ docker-compose pull

• Create a directory for sharing resources between your computer and the container

$ mkdir ~/variantvalidator_data
$ mkdir ~/variantvalidator_data/share

ie a directory called share in your home directory

• Build

$ docker-compose build --no-cache

• Complete build
  • The first time you do this, it will complete the build process, for example, populating the required the databases
  • When this is completed you will need to shutdown the services and re-start (see below)

$ docker-compose up

• Shutdown services when you want to stop the container

ctrl + c

However, I keep getting an error /usr/local/bin/docker-entrypoint.sh: ignoring /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/VVTA_2021_2_noseq.psql.gz . I will attach the full (relevant) trace below

I hope it's OK to use links. It's more understandable to me and hopefully easier for you all.

The Docker Hub postgres image page notes:

If you would like to do additional initialization in an image derived from this one, add one or more *.sql , *.sql.gz , or *.sh scripts under /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d ....

The file you have doesn't match one of these three patterns, though, its filename ends with .psql.gz . You need to rename it when you download it:

RUN wget https://www528.lamp.le.ac.uk/vvdata/vvta/VVTA_2021_2_noseq.psql.gz \
  -O /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/VVTA_2021_2_noseq.sql.gz
# change this filename to remove "p" here ........ ^^^
