Postgres: Step with postgres service fails immediately with no console output.

Symptoms

A step with Postgres fails immediately. There are no or minimal logs in the Console.

Cause

Most commonly, authentication has not been set up. The startup portion of Postgres failed. You can find the logs under services.

Solution

• Add the following properties to your environment: POSTGRES_USER, POSTGRES_PASSWORD

  services:
  composition:
      postgres:
          image: postgres:11
          ports:
              - 5432
          environment:
              POSTGRES_USER=user
              POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password
  

• You are also able to use POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD: trust if desired, but this is not recommended. services: composition: postgres: image: postgres:11 ports: - 5432 environment: POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD: trust
