PostgreSQL – Postgres image is not created database

According to these docs, I can use env var POSTGRES_DB to specify the name of the database created by the postgres docker image. I set it in the docker-compose file, but it is not created.

This is the relevant part of the compose file:

pg:
image: postgres:10
volumes:
-db-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
environment:
POSTGRES_DB: user-auth
POSTGRES_USER: postgres
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: postgres

This is the log:

You are most likely to start the container without setting the env variable.
Then when there is no user or DB information In the case of initializing db.

You need to delete the volume and try again.
