Create postgres extension in docker container

Question

I am attempting to create a postgres instance in a Docker container using the following Dockerfile.

FROM postgres

ENV POSTGRES_DB dspace
ENV POSTGRES_USER dspace
ENV POSTGRES_PASSWORD dspace

COPY init.sql /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/

Here is my init.sql

create extension pgcrpyto

I am using the Codenvy service to run this container. When it initializes, I am seeing the following error.

[STDOUT] server started
[STDOUT] Reading package lists...

[STDERR] psql:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/init.sql:1: ERROR:  could not open extension control file "/usr/share/postgresql/10/extension/pgcrpyto.control": No such file or directory

Note, I based my solution on the following post. How to create postgres extension inside the container?

Answer 1

The following repo has a solution to my question. It appears that I need to provide a shell script to execute the SQL.
