Hello,

Thanks in advance for your help and congrats for all the achievements you make. Postgres/postgis is amazing, moreover with docker capabilities

I have followed the step by step installation guide as mentionned here :
https://registry.hub.docker.com/r/postgis/postgis/

When trying to run a client container using

docker run -it --rm --network some-network postgis/postgis psql -h some-postgis -U postgres

Whereas I have set the POSTGRES_PASSWORD to run the server container, I get the message:

"Error: Database is uninitialized and superuser password is not specified.
       You must specify POSTGRES_PASSWORD to a non-empty value for the
       superuser. For example, "-e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password" on "docker run".

       You may also use "POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=trust" to allow all
       connections without a password. This is not recommended.

       See PostgreSQL documentation about "trust":
       https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/auth-trust.html"

I have tried to go through a docker compose to set POSTGRES_PASSWORD as an env variable. It does make any difference.

Could you help me ?

Thanks in advance
