How to use postgres as accessory

[floydj]

Trying to use postgres as an accessory, but keep seeing the following error on the app container when trying to deploy:

LoadError: libpq.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory - /usr/local/bundle/ruby/3.2.0/gems/pg-1.5.4/lib/pg_ext.so

Here's what I have in the Dockerfile:

RUN apt-get update -qq && \
    apt-get install --no-install-recommends -y build-essential curl git libvips libpq-dev node-gyp pkg-config python-is-python3

Shouldn't installing the libpq-dev package take care of this? Digging online for that error, the standard advice is to make sure the proper postgres dev package is installed, and that's what I've done (I think).

Any suggestions?

Add the libpq5 package as well, and it should solve the issue

@floydj You're missing postgresql-client in the Dockerfile, you'll need that in the final stage of your build.
