Hi, I am getting this error while setting up the PACT broker, please assist.

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>

This looks like a postgres issue

Hi Matt, we ran this command

docker logs <container id> --details.

on the following container to see what error has it logged !

d88204f1f9d8   postgres                     "docker-entrypoint.s…"   21 seconds ago      Exited (1) 20 seconds ago               peaceful_mendel

OK thanks. This is not a Pact question though, this is a question about how to run Postgres on Docker. Best to consult the postgres and/or docker logs.

okay

@Harry with the greatest respect, this is not a very good bug report. The error is quite verbose, and is clearly giving you a pointer Have you set a password and what instructions/steps have you followed.

Just an update , we are trying to run the following command :-

sudo docker run -d pactfoundation/pact-broker

with the latest pact-broker version

2.98.0

and now encountering this issue

2022-05-13 14:35:52.560039 I [9:4600] pact-broker -- Connecting to database: -- "{:adapter=>\"postgres\", :encoding=>\"utf8\", :sql_log_level=>:debug, :enable_caller_logging=>false, :log_warn_duration=>5.0, :pool_timeout=>5, :driver_options=>{:options=>\"-c statement_timeout=15s\"}, :connect_max_retries=>0, :password=>\"*****\"}"

! Unable to load application: Sequel::DatabaseConnectionError: PG::ConnectionBad: could not connect to server: No such file or directory

Is the server running locally and accepting

connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

you aren't passing in an env vars, so it doesn't know where your database is

looks like we previously were using Pact broker version 2.78.0 and it had default credentials

fyi the exposed port is

9292

docker run --rm \                                                                                                        ─╯
    -e PACT_BROKER_DATABASE_URL=$PACT_BROKER_DATABASE_URL \
    -p 9292:9292 \
    pactfoundation/pact-broker

just to be clear the 9292 is the application port.
