Load Postgres dump after docker-compose up

Question

I have a dump.sql file that I would like to load with docker-compose.

docker-compose.yml:

services:
  postgres:
    environment:
      POSTGRES_DB: my_d         


        

Answer 1

After the docker-compose up, do docker ps it will give you a list of active docker containers. From that, you can get the container ID.

Then,

docker exec -i {CONTAINER_ID} psql -U {USER} < {.SQL FILE}
