   Closing this as invalid. There is no information about how you are running this and what docker-compose you use. The Dockerfile is not supposed to create a database, docker image is only there to run the software.
   
   If you have an external DB, you need to create airflow DB using some kind of init container. With Docker-compose you could create an init-service that could do it. There are examples in https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/start/docker.html where you can see an example docker compose that uses external database and creates it  for "production" settings where database is external,
   
   If you just want to use "sqlite" embeded database for a "really quick start" (not production - it's not supposed to be in production)  in the docker image you have the environment variable _AIRFLOW_DB_UPGRADE that you can use to create/upgrade the schema as described here: https://airflow.apache.org/docs/docker-stack/entrypoint.html#upgrading-airflow-db but this is really for "local development" purpose.
