Getting Permission Denied in Container

[ryanomor]

Actual Behavior

After creating and running my containers using docker compose up -d, when I try connecting to it, I get permission issues. I open the container logs with docker container logs $CONTAINER_ID and get multiple lines of chown: changing ownership of '/var/lib/postgresql/data/base/558180/558738': Permission denied

Steps to Reproduce

Create a docker-compose.yml that has the same config as below. Then run docker compose up -d and try connecting to the container and view the logs:

version: '3.1'

services:

  postgres:
    image: postgres:11
    restart: always
    command: postgres -c 'max_connections=200'
    environment:
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: ${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}
      POSTGRES_USER: ${POSTGRES_USER}
    volumes:
      - ${VOLUMES_ROOT}/postgres/data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    ports:
      - ${POSTGRES_PORT}:5432

Result

Can not connect to the port exposed by the container. And when I get the logs of the container, I get multiple chown permission denied errors

Expected Behavior

Can connect to the port exposed by container. No permission denied logs in container

@ryanomor suggested on Slack it may be the same issue as #1209

Turns out volume mounting with docker compose in both Docker and Rancher Desktops has some issues.

I followed the instructions in the comment in the above issue thread: https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/issues/1209#issuecomment-1370181132

After adding the override config, I restarted rancher: rdctl shutdown, then rdctl start (you may have to reset the context back to rancher desktop: docker context use rancher-desktop)

I ran docker compose up and all my containers seemed to be running with the right permissions except for my postgres one. So I just manually ran it without using compose and it worked: docker run --name postgres11 -e POSTGRES_USER=$PG_USER -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=$PG_PASS -p 5432:5432 --detach postgres:11

Thanks for the update!

I would like to keep this issue open for a bit, to see if e.g. there is something we can add to our docs about it.
