Greetings, I am new to docker.

Situation

  • I am following Quickstart guide of django which is stated in compose/django.md
  • I've been following the walkthrough exactly the same, yet it seems like the guide has omitted postgres initialization.
  • Mac OS Cattalina 10.15.3 / pipenv virtual environment / python 3.8

Problem

docker-compose up

fails with

db_1   | Error: Database is uninitialized and superuser password is not specified.
db_1   |        You must specify POSTGRES_PASSWORD to a non-empty value for the
db_1   |        superuser. For example, "-e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password" on "docker run".
db_1   | 
db_1   |        You may also use "POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=trust" to allow all
db_1   |        connections without a password. This is *not* recommended.
db_1   | 
db_1   |        See PostgreSQL documentation about "trust":

I had a similar problem.
I'm sure it will be fixed in the following way.

# docker-compose.yml

 version: '3'

 services:
   db:
     image: postgres
     ports:                       #add line.
       - '5432'
     environment:           # add line.
       - POSTGRES_DB=postgres
       - POSTGRES_USER=postgres
       - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres
   web:
     build: .
     command: python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
     volumes:
       - .:/code
     ports:
       - "8000:8000"
     depends_on:
       - db
# setting.py

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
        'NAME': 'postgres',
        'USER': 'postgres',
        'PASSWORD': 'postgres',  #add line.
        'HOST': 'db',
        'PORT': 5432,
    }
}

Result

docker-compose up
Recreating compose-test_db_1 ... done
Recreating compose-test_web_1 ... done
Attaching to compose-test_db_1, compose-test_web_1
