<p>also password from env.vars also doesnt work. And yes, i'll try remove pvc\pv before run. Also if i run entrypoint script manually it will stops immediatly, so probably this is some issue with entrypoint or idk</p>

Dmitry Shumsky
<p><code>/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d</code> is only executed if your data directory is empty. It's there for initialization and not every startup.</p>
<p>The pod logs you showed include <code>Aria engine: starting recovery</code> so the volume was already initialized. As such the <code>/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d</code> is ignored.</p>
