Quarkus devservices not starting config free postgres db - postgresql

Question

I just wanted to try dev services for spinning up a config free postgres in docker as I read at https://quarkus.io/guides/datasource#dev-services-configuration-free-databases
Generated a quarkus project https://code.quarkus.io/ with dependency quarkus-jdbc-postgresql
and application.properties looks like
quarkus.datasource.devservices.enabled=true
quarkus.datasource.db-kind=postgresql
quarkus.datasource.devservices.port=5432
Starting quarkus does NOT spin up postgres, instead I get a warning that quarkus does not understand its own properties, see Quarkus Log

Any idea what is going on here?

According to your warning message, there's one extension missing for this configuration:
2022-03-09 23:11:14,433 WARN [io.qua.config] (Quarkus Main Thread) Unrecognized configuration key "quarkus.datasource.db-kind" was provided; it will be ignored; verify that the dependency extension for this configuration is set or that you did not make a typo
You can solve your problem adding one of these dependencies to your project (on your pom.xml):
Pool your database connections (included in Hibernate ORM)
<dependency>
<groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
<artifactId>quarkus-agroal</artifactId>
</dependency>
or
Hibernate ORM
<dependency>
<groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
<artifactId>quarkus-hibernate-orm</artifactId>
</dependency>
