Caveat

In case you run into any problems while running docker-compose such as password authentication failure or role 'user' does not exists. Run the following commands

docker-compose down # remove existing container
docker volume rm go-get-job_db_data # remove stored data from <folder>_db_data
docker-compose up --build # rebuild the container with update
