postgres service never starts up

I followed the instructions in the README and running make up results in the following error:

I also tried running make ps to see what was going on and it appears the db service closes as soon as it begins. I'm just trying to setup a local dev server to test this out.

Any ideas?

@dcaban-dgdeanwork we also faced the same issue while trying to setup our server.

it turned out that the postgress fails if password is not set This is the new docker-compose.common.yml

db:
  image: postgres:9.4
  environment:
    POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD: trust

redis:
  image: redis:3

web:
  image: crystalnix/omaha-server:dev
  privileged: true
  ports:
    - "9090:80"
  environment:
    DB_HOST: db
    DB_PORT: 5432
    DB_USER: postgres
    DB_NAME: postgres
    DB_PASSWORD: ''
    HOST_NAME: '*'
    SECRET_KEY: 'SECRET_KEY'
    DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE: 'omaha_server.settings'
    AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: 'AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'
    AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: 'AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'
    AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME: 'AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME'
    REDIS_HOST: redis
    REDIS_PORT: 6379
    OMAHA_SERVER_PRIVATE: 'True'
    AWS_ROLE: 'omaha-private'
    DB_PUBLIC_USER: 'omaha_public'
    DB_PUBLIC_PASSWORD: 'omaha_public_password'

    FILEBEAT_HOST: 'localhost'
    FILEBEAT_PORT: '9021'
    ELK_HOST: ''
    ELK_PORT: ''
    FILEBEAT_DESTINATION: ''

then

sudo docker-compose up

starts the server
