**Note 2:** If you set `POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD` to `trust`, then `POSTGRES_PASSWORD` is not required.

**Note 3:** If you set this to an alternative value (such as `scram-sha-256`), you might need additional `POSTGRES_INITDB_ARGS` for the database to initialize correctly (such as `POSTGRES_INITDB_ARGS=--auth-host=scram-sha-256`).

### `PGDATA`

This optional variable can be used to define another location - like a subdirectory - for the database files. The default is `/var/lib/postgresql/data`. If the data volume you're using is a filesystem mountpoint (like with GCE persistent disks) or remote folder that cannot be chowned to the `postgres` user (like some NFS mounts), Postgres `initdb` recommends a subdirectory be created to contain the data.
