Won't just a raw pg_isready like this happily connect to the temporary unix-socket-only instance of the server that's used for initdb, and thus prematurely report that the database is up and healthy?

(see also https://github.com/docker-library/faq#healthcheck, many of which applies to trying to make "generic" documentation for health checks too, and https://github.com/docker-library/healthcheck/blob/40afbf64d69cf933af0da4df6383958a29113601/postgres/docker-healthcheck which is likely more than we'd want in the documentation but the main point there being explicitly using TCP to ensure we don't connect to the temporary server)

Run `docker stack deploy -c stack.yml %%REPO%%` (or `docker-compose -f stack.yml up`), wait for it to initialize completely, and visit `http://swarm-ip:8080`, `http://localhost:8080`, or `http://host-ip:8080` (as appropriate).
