To run PostgreSQL on Docker, run the following in your Terminal:

docker run --name postgres-nest -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres -d postgres

i tried running this but the container exits as soon as it starts
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":

I know im super late here. For those who got confused at this part, i would like to mention a few points you need to keep in mind when setting up postgres and pgAdmin containers:
1- the default username is postgres. That makes your email: [email protected]
2- when setting the server in pgAdmin, keep in mind that the hostname in the pgAdmin connection settings must match the name of your PostgreSQL container (e.g --name postgres-nest)

otherwise it won't connect
