Postgresql 9.6.5 not working in Windows Docker containers (both Nanoserver and WindowsServerCore base images)

Running Postgresql in a Windows Docker container seems to be impossible at
the moment.

I downloaded the EnterpriseDB binaries, setup a Docker file to extract the
binaries into a Windows Docker container and then tried to run initdb.exe.
I can't get past that step. Notice the second to last line in the output
has an error.

DOCKERFILE

COPY ["postgresql-9.6.5-1-windows-x64-binaries.zip", "c:/"]

RUN powershell.exe -Command \

It looks like this in the directory.

Other Ideas/Permutations I Tried Which Didn't Work

- Tried using microsoft/windowsservercore as the base image instead.
initdb.exe doesn't output anything. Not even the the error message you see
in the above screenshot.
- Ran initdb on my local computer and then dropped the pgdata files into
the volume and tried running "postgres.exe" but that immediately exited
with no output.
- [image: Inline image 3]
- Tried both Docker 17.09 (stable) and 17.10 (edge)
- Tried an older Postgres 5.9 version of binaries

Environment Details
Docker 17.10
Image: microsoft/nanoserver
Host OS: Windows 10
Postgres Version: postgresql-9.6.5
