fig will create a docker container with a different name than the one used in the fig.yml file.

I got it working by finding the container name with docker ps and looking at the NAMES column.

Then running the psql command in the running container with docker exec -ti NAME_OF_CONTAINER psql -U YOUR_POSTGRES_USERNAME

Important Note:

• docker exec runs the psqlcommand on a running container
• docker run will start a new container.

Update

fig is now called docker-compose
