Docker wait for postgresql to be running

I’ve spent some hours investigating this problem and I got a solution.
Docker depends_on just consider service startup to run another service. Than it happens because as soon as db is started, service-app tries to connect to ur db, but it’s not ready to receive connections. So you can check db health status in app service to wait for connection. Here is my solution, it solved my problem. 🙂
Important: I’m using docker-compose version 2.1.

version: '2.1'

services:
  my-app:
    build: .
    command: su -c "python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000"
    ports:
       - "8000:8000"
    depends_on:
      db:
        condition: service_healthy
    links:
      - db
    volumes:
      - .:/app_directory

  db:
    image: postgres:10.5
    ports:
      - "5432:5432"
    volumes:
      - database:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD-SHELL", "pg_isready -U postgres"]
      interval: 5s
      timeout: 5s
      retries: 5

volumes:
  database:

In this case it’s not necessary to create a .sh file.
