docker-compose up --build : Error: postgress container doesn't start up but throws error

[Sven Hessenmüller]

Hi,

couldn't get the project running via docker because:

When doing sudo docker-compose up --build the db container doesn't start up but throws error:

Error: Database is uninitialized and superuser password is not specified.
       You must specify POSTGRES_PASSWORD for the superuser. Use
       "-e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password" to set it in "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 is related to this breaking change in image postgres and discussed here

setting the env vars in docker-compose.yml fixes this.
i'll send you a pull request for this (hope you don't mind).

greetings, Sven
