You have at least 2 ways

1) You can try to pipe the yes/no to your installation script.

RUN sh -c '/bin/echo -e "yes\nyes\nyes\nno\nyes\nno" | your_script'

2) or you can try too with expect

RUN apt-get install expect ADD install_script RUN install_script

where install_script is

#!/usr/bin/expect set timeout 2 spawn "./your_script" expect "Question 1 :" { send "yes\n" } expect "Question 2 :" { send "no\n" } interact

The answer i found for the question is this.

Pg96 uses python script which check for either .pgpass file so create a file .pgpass in pg96 directory after install.

or if it don't get the file then it ask for password in command prompt.

My suggestion create a file .pgpass inside the folder pg96.

and then run command

./pgc start pg96

Thanks
