postgres:10.11 fails to start when PGPORT is passed

[pkutsilina]

When overriding default port with PGPORT env var on postgres:10.11, it fails to start:

docker run -e POSTGRES_DB=test -e POSTGRES_USER=test -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password -e PGPORT=5435 --network host postgres:10.11 -h 0.0.0.0
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale "en_US.utf8".
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to "UTF8".
The default text search configuration will be set to "english".

Previous version postgres:10.10 works fine:

docker run -e POSTGRES_DB=test -e POSTGRES_USER=test -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password -e PGPORT=5435 --network host postgres:10.10 -h 0.0.0.0

It affects dependents on postgres:10

[wglambert]

Same issue as #637

[vmeow]

Also started seeing this issue (on postgres:9.5) as of 6 days ago, perhaps as a result of #642 which seems to remove custom port configuration.

[yosifkit]

To work around it, I would suggest using -p 5435 at the end of your line instead of -e PGPORT=5435 while we find a fix.

[tianon]

A proper fix is up at #646.
