When using R2R_POSTGRES_DBNAME, does R2R expect the user to create the database manaually?

[avibathula]

If R2R respects R2R_POSTGRES_DBNAME, why not create the database if it doesnt exist?

Given that the hatchet-create-db service exists in the same compose file but no equivalent exists for R2R strongly seems strange.

I am new to this - but my gut feeling is that a well-designed containerized application handle its own prerequisites automatically, especially database creation - kindly help me understand.

Shouldn't an r2r-create-db service exist to fix the gap?
