Mark's response was the problem. I was mounting to the same place where the 9.6 db had previously been mounted. When
Icreated a new mount point for the 11.3 data, it worked.
I don't see how to mark this bug as "resolved" from the web but would like to mark this resolved

It looks like the postmaster is failing to start. The place to look to
find out the cause of that is in the postmaster's log file. Unfortunately
I don't use docker so I don't know how it configures the postmaster's
logging; but if you look into the start recipe you should be able to find
where it's redirecting the process's stderr, and that would get you
started.
