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":

sudo lsof -i :5432
