[SOLVED] OCI container not functional (postgres latest)

[Colin 't Hart]

I'm a freelance Postgres DBA and use Proxmox to host a plethora of containers and VMs for work (research mainly) for my clients. It's been an absolute godsend, so a huge THANKS for making Proxmox!

I found the new OCI support interesting, so I searched the OCI registry for "postgres" and chose "latest". Then I created a container and assigned it an IP address.

When I go to start it it just says "OK" and after that it's not running.

What do I do next?

Postgres containers need the password set via an environment variable if I remember correctly. If the password cannot be found they'll print a warning and then shut themselves off. Sadly we currently have no proper way of capturing that warning so it looks like nothing is happening to you.

Try setting the POSTGRES_PASSWORD variable in the containers settings. Go to Options, double-click the line that reads Environment and add the variable with an appropriate value in the dialog that should open. Once that's done, try to restart the container.

Thanks, that worked!
