I wanted to test some modification I have done to Odoo V11 code (very simple changes). For this I have Odoo running on my development PC with all dependencies from requirements.txt inside a python virtual env. 

To run the database, instead of installing one on my PC, i choosed for simplicity to run postgresql from a Docker container. This it the command I use to start postgresql 9.5 server from docker:

docker run --name odoo-db -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mypassword -e POSTGRES_USER=odoo -d -p 5432:5432 postgres:9.5

For reference, this is my Odoo server configuration file (~/.odoorc):

[options]
admin_passwd = myadminpasswd
addons_path = /home/antoine/rnx/odoo/addons,/home/antoine/rnx/odoo-enterprise 
csv_internal_sep = ,
db_host = localhost 
db_password = mypassword 
db_port = 5432 
db_user =  odoo

I can then start the Odoo server locally and create a new database without trouble using this postgresql server inside the docker container. But when I try to install an Odoo application , the following exception(s) is raised:

IThis does not occur if i run the same codebase against the postgresql server installed from ubuntu 16.04.

I don'k know well posgresql, but it looks like the query does not pass the DB consistency checks. It's sounds to me like something is miss-configured with the server from the Docker image. Can someone tell me what to change in the server ?
