I am following this post to run SQL script to create default table.

Here is my docker compose file

version: "3"
services:
  web:
    build: .
    volumes:
      - ./:/usr/src/app/
      - /usr/src/app/node_modules
    ports:
      - “3000:3000”
    depends_on:
      - postgres
  postgres:
    container_name: postgres
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: pgDockerfile
    environment:
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: test
      POSTGRES_USER: test
    ports:
      - 5432:5432

Here is my pgDockerfile

FROM postgres:9.6-alpine

# copy init sql
ADD 00-initial.sql /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/

Here is my sql script

CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS "uuid-ossp";
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS test (
    id text NOT NULL,
    title varchar(200) NOT NULL
);

I can build and run docker-compose up, and I see the following message:

It seems like the db is shut down after the table is created. I think that’s the standard process for Postgres Docker but when I login to Postgres, I don’t see my table that is supposed to be there.

I login through

docker exec -it $(my postgres container id) sh

#su - postgres

#psql

# \d => No relations found. 

I am not sure if this is the right way to create default data for Postgres.
