PostgresSQL server failed to start about nominatim-docker HOT 6 CLOSED

Any follow-up on this? I get the same error as Ericson90. Not sure if this is the same issue as OP, Because there are many commands here in one line, it's hard to say which one is causing.
I get the 255 exit-code. PBF is Planet. Running on a 32GB RAM machine, 8 vcpus. 900GB disk space.

I have the same problem with the 3.1 and i fix this by adding :

service postgresql start

under chown postgres:postgres /data/$PGDIR && \

in the init.sh then rebuild etc

Me too having a similar issue at the PostgreSQL setup section.
Anyone know how to fix this ?

Do we have any fix for this? What's wrong here?

from nominatim-docker.

For me adding the "-w" flag to the "pg_ctl -D /data/$PGDIR start" command helps, as it advices pg_ctl to wait until the postgres service is started.

We've changed quite a lot with the latest releases (3.6 & 3.7). You can check the latest version out and give us feedback, the problem should be fixed.
