I have a data dump file (without .sql extension) of an entire database created from an existing PostgreSQL database using pg_dump command. I want to populate a new PostgreSQL database - to run inside a Docker container - with that dump file while creating and running a Docker container for the first time. The docker container is created from this Docker image and docker compose will be used to run this new PostgreSQL database as service.

    did you try the docker-entrypoint-initdb.d (hub.docker.com/_/postgres)? Commented Jul 30, 2021 at 7:15
  • @LucasBazetto, Thanks it worked for me, but I had to change the pg_dump file (compressed/binary) to .sql format. That is, it did not work with pg_dump compressed / binary file. Commented Jul 30, 2021 at 18:50
