Hi! I'm one of the contributors to the repo. Just to clarify, our Docker image [0] only contains the latest version of Postgres (13) and the common extensions listed out here [1]. All the other features such as this [2] and this [3] are only available in the AWS EC2 or DO droplet images. We've since updated our README to make that clearer :-) You can still connect the DB with a PgBouncer image spun up in another container however. Unfortunately, I can't really recommend you which one since there doesn't seem to be an official Docker image for PgBouncer and I myself have never tried any of the existing ones out there. If you're looking to use PostgREST however, they do have an official Docker image that you can use over here [4].

In Show HN: Postgres Docker image with common extensions
Hi! I'm one of the contributors to the repo. Primary reason was for uniformity. Initially, we built our EC2 and DO Droplet images with Ansible and our Docker image with a Dockerfile [0]. It became tedious over time as adding a new extension meant double the work since we had to write separate instructions for Ansible and the Dockerfile. Also, the Dockerfile itself started to become long-winded and cluttered with the amount of extensions that we were pumping in. [0]: https://github.com/supabase/postgres/blob/0c5178588791d9472c...
