How do we know when database is ready?

For regular (non-PostGIS) postgres containers, we can wait for the message "database system is ready to accept connections" to appear in the log. However, your mdillon/postgres never seems to print that message. How can external apps such as docker-maven-plugin know when the database is ready?

Maybe this is useful :

github.com/docker-library/postgres#146:"How to determine when new container is truly "ready"

// This image is based on the official postgres image ; so most of the postgres - best practice can be reused here.

Right you are (of course). My apologies and sorry to bother you. I found and fixed another problem that was interfering with the log message detection.
