Postgres:10 in docker swarm cluster. Database system is shut down - postgresql

Question

I use postgres:10 (https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres/) image for DB.
It is deployed in docker swarm cluster.
After running DB replica I got database system is shut down in DB's log.

exit 1
But DB still alive. It is shutdown periodically and accept connections again (
What it the problem?
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Ok, so I solved my issue. This issue helped me.
It seems like Postgres initialization process does stop the initialization process once done, and it is another process which follows up and accepts connexion.
Hence I had:
postgres:
deploy:
restart_policy:
condition: on-failure
window: 15m
and apparently docker received a end-of-process status code, so it stopped without going to the next process so never accepting connexions.
My interpretation may be incorrect, but at least if you face the issue, try removing restart_policy key to see if it fixes it.
I haven't tried to restore healthcheck yet, as it may also have undesired side effects.
