Spoolman won't install on Podman, permission issues.

[stelladraco27]

Describe the bug After running podman compose up -d on the yaml file the image is downloaded and the container starts to run; however, when viewing the logs, there is a series of critical errors and the application does not finish setting up, then exits, before looping the whole thing again, and again. The error (view snippet section) mentions a permission issue on an internal folder (inside the container, not the host machine), before saying the data directory needs permissions and to use a chown command. Even once I use the chown command and try again, it still fails. Just a few days ago I had this thing running, then changed my data directory location, before trying to install again, maybe that has something to do with it?

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a compose.yaml as described in the installation steps.
2. Run container.
3. Look at logs.

Expected behavior I expect the container to install correctly and display a webpage for me.

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Would love some help with this.

Have you tried fixing the permissions of the host folder /home/MyUsername/podman/data/spoolman that you're mounting it to?

So like: sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /home/MyUsername/podman/data/spoolman
