Restore of db from WAL is impossible if public schema does not exists

[jovanradin]

I'm using ghcr.io/zalando/spilo-15:3.2-p1 (tried also with other versions) and when i try to restore db from WAL backup i have following error:

ERROR:  schema "public" does not exist

We probably just need:

CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS public

In post_init.sh to successfully add extensions etc

Also if anyone knows solution how i can restore db without creating my own docker image, please help :)

[jovanradin]

I just changed create_user_functions.sql, added CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS public; and with custom docker image restore now works.
Still think that this should be added in official containers.
