Postgresql – Postgis extension doesn’t seem to be taken into account when restoring a PostGIS database: ERROR: type “public.geometry” does not exist

I am struggling trying to restore a PostgreSQL dump that has been made using pg_dump (v. 12+) out of a production database having PostGIS installed, the very first issue is this one when restoring the dump:

db_1   | pg_restore: creating TABLE "public.global_position"
db_1   | [189] ERROR:  type "public.geometry" does not exist at character 94

to me, this roughly means that the postgis extension was not successfully restored.

But when I log on the original database in order to list the installed extensions, here's what I can read:

You are connected to database "productiondb" as user "postgres" on host "localhost" (address "127.0.0.1") at port "5432".
productiondb=# \dx
                                         List of installed extensions
       Name       | Version |   Schema   |                             Description                             
------------------+---------+------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------
 fuzzystrmatch    | 1.1     | public     | determine similarities and distance between strings
 plpgsql          | 1.0     | pg_catalog | PL/pgSQL procedural language
 postgis          | 2.5.2   | public     | PostGIS geometry, geography, and raster spatial types and functions
 postgis_topology | 2.5.2   | topology   | PostGIS topology spatial types and functions
(4 rows)

so postgis is actually there, inside the public schema.

Therefore, why is the postgis extension not restored properly? Is there something special about it?

Here are some more details:

productiondb=# select version();
                                        version                                        
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 PostgreSQL 11.2 on x86_64-pc-linux-musl, compiled by gcc (Alpine 8.2.0) 8.2.0, 64-bit
(1 row)

productiondb=# select postgis_version();
            postgis_version            
---------------------------------------
 2.5 USE_GEOS=1 USE_PROJ=1 USE_STATS=1
(1 row)

And the dump was made using:

pg_dump -Fc -d "postgresql://postgres:****@localhost:5432/productiondb" \
  --disable-triggers \
  --role=postgres \
  --no-owner \
  --no-acl \
  --verbose \
  -n "public" \
  -f "file.dump"

And restored as follows (inside a local docker container):

pg_restore --format=c \
  -U postgres \
  -d postgres
  --verbose \
  --clean \
  --create \
  --no-privileges \
  --no-owner \
  file.dump;
