Postgres Container Exits After Starting

I'm starting a postgres docker container with:

docker run --name postgres-test-container -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password -d postgres:latest -p 5432:5432 -v postgres-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data

Running docker ps doesn't show anything.

Running docker ps -a shows CREATED 48 second ago and STATUS Exited (1) 46 seconds ago

On running docker logs postgres-test-container, I get the below message:

-- Snipped previous init success messages 

Success. You can now start the database server using:

    pg_ctl -D /var/lib/postgresql/data -l logfile start

waiting for server to start....2020-06-17 00:50:03.582 GMT [48] FATAL:  invalid value for parameter "port": "5432:5432"
pg_ctl: could not start server

I'm not able to figure out what's wrong here. How do I solve this error ?

Take a look at the usage:

Usage:  docker run [OPTIONS] IMAGE [COMMAND] [ARG...]

Options should proceed the image name:

docker run --name postgres-test-container -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password -d -p 5432:5432 -v postgres-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data postgres:latest

docker run --name pg-docker -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=docker -d -p 5432:5432 -v $HOME/docker/volumes/postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/data  postgres:9.5
