Running docker-pggis on a Mac runs into file permissions errors #7

The issue on the Mac is similar to the documented problem where the database comes up the first time, but the second time just leaves a trail of ......... as it tries to load.

On the Mac under boot2docker (or docker-machine) the issue was identified as https://github.com/boot2docker/boot2docker/issues/581 which has to deal with file system UID mappings to the host file system. Alas the documented workaround of using a shell script to connect and fix things doesn't work.

Punting for now, but thought I'd save someone some time who tried this and got stuck. My workaround is the native Postgres.app distribution http://postgresapp.com/ (and some kind of native equivalent on AWS as the server side).

Ok, I will close the issue since the problem is upstream, but thanks for documenting it. Hopefully it will be fixed soon in boot2docker.
