mount volume script is ignored.

[Congrammers]

based on this issue docker-library/postgres#193

From the readme, the mount volume usage is broken

Can you be more specific? What did you do, what happened?

Works well for me, so I would like to get more information.

My project Directory looks like:

.
├── myapp
|  ├── Dockerfile
|  └── script
|     └── docker-posgresql-multiple-databases
│        └── create-multiple-postgresql-databases.sh
└── docker-compose.yml

db_dev:
    image: postgres:9.6.6
    environment:
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: mysecretlocalpassword
      POSTGRES_USER: postgres
      POSTGRES_MULTIPLE_DATABASES: myapp_db_development,myapp_db_test
    volumes:
      - ./myapp/script/docker-posgresql-multiple-databases:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d

So, I want to use it by mounting the script as a volume, when I try to run the docker-compose file. The script within docker-entrypoint-initdb.d is ignored. The log returned so:

db_dev_1        | server started
db_dev_1        | ALTER ROLE
db_dev_1        | 
db_dev_1        | 
db_dev_1        | /usr/local/bin/docker-entrypoint.sh: ignoring /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/*
db_dev_1        | 
db_dev_1        | waiting for server to shut down....LOG:  received fast shutdown request
db_dev_1        | LOG:  aborting any active transactions
db_dev_1        | LOG:  autovacuum launcher shutting down
db_dev_1        | LOG:  shutting down
db_dev_1        | LOG:  database system is shut down
db_dev_1        |  done
db_dev_1        | server stopped

But when I try using it from the image:

  db_dev:
    image: postgres-multi-db
    environment:
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: mysecretlocalpassword
      POSTGRES_USER: postgres
      POSTGRES_MULTIPLE_DATABASES: myapp_db_development,myapp_db_test

building it in-before,
docker build -t=postgres-multi-db ./aloha/script/docker-postgresql-multiple-databases;
it works just fine.

As explained by yosifkit in here and here, the problem stem from the official image itself. I'm looking for a workaround for using the mount volume method instead of building images.

Hello! I think this issue about typo in the example, see my PR.

[mrts]

Many thanks to @a13xg0! However, looking at @Congrammers config, he has the typo in the folder name, so it should work... and the logs clearly tell that the folder contents are ignored.

Yeah it's working now; The error that the 'scriptfile is ignored' indicated that the file is useless (probably empty, wrong extension etc..).

I figured this when it's actually working. It ignored the README.md and another file within the folder, thanks for everyone guidance!
