Docker Compose postgres db does not start

Hello for some reason my postgres keeps restarting basically this is my docker compose:

version: "3.7"
services:
  db:
    image: postgres:12
    restart: always
    container_name: "db"
    ports:
      - "${DB_PORT}:5432"
    volumes:
      - ./pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: ${DB_USER}
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: ${DB_PASS}
      POSTGRES_DB: ${DB_NAME}

  api:
    image: server_emasa
    container_name: api
    restart: always
    depends_on:
      - db
    ports:
      - "${SERVER_PORT}:${SERVER_PORT}"

and for some reason my postgres is restarting I tried using the docker compose logs to check and got this:

I also had a similar problem after restarting my postgresql container:

LOG:  could not open directory "pg_tblspc/memory/...": Not a directory

The reason of the error is probably because of data corruption in database.

You can solve the issue by deleting contents of pg_tblspc/ directory (make sure to backup all of them) or you can also try by recovering the latest backup of your database (if there's one).

first remove associated docker volume and data folder then: POSTGRES_DB: ${DB_NAME} will not work, use like this:

 environment:
   - 'POSTGRES_DB=med_db'
   - 'POSTGRES_USER:postgres'
   - 'POSTGRES_PASSWORD:pass'

The error refers to postgresql not being able to find critical files, but is not attempting to create them because your pgdata directory contains some files.

Try not to bind your pgdata directory to the docker container, just remove the volumes section in your docker-compose file
