Hello, @luiisca! I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contributions. Let's tackle this issue together!

The "container for service 'postgres' is unhealthy" message typically indicates that the health check for the PostgreSQL service is failing. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

1. Check Logs: Start by checking the logs of the PostgreSQL container to see if there are any error messages or warnings that could indicate the problem. You can do this by running:

   docker logs <container_id>

2. Verify Health Check Command: Ensure that the pg_isready command used in the health check is functioning correctly. You can manually run this command inside the container to see if it returns any errors:

   docker exec -it <container_id> pg_isready

3. Database Configuration: Make sure that the database is properly configured and accessible. Check the environment variables such as POSTGRES_DB and POSTGRES_PASSWORD to ensure they are set correctly.

4. Resource Availability: Ensure that your system has enough resources (CPU, memory) to run the PostgreSQL container. Insufficient resources can cause the service to become unhealthy.

5. Network Issues: Check for any network issues that might be preventing the PostgreSQL service from starting properly.

6. Restart the Container: Sometimes, simply restarting the container can resolve transient issues:

   docker-compose restart postgres

If the issue persists, further investigation into the specific error messages in the logs will be necessary to identify the root cause.
