I have a Docker container (based on timescale/timescaledb-ha:pg14-latest) that I start like this:
docker run -d --name timescaledb -p 127.0.0.1:5432:5432 \
-v /Users/<me>/timescaledb-data:/home/postgres/pgdata/data \
-e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres timescale/timescaledb-ha:pg14-latest
Today, on trying to run this script, Docker complains:
2023-11-05 19:43:48 2023-11-05 19:43:48.439 UTC [1] FATAL: data directory "/home/postgres/pgdata/data" has wrong ownership
2023-11-05 19:43:48 2023-11-05 19:43:48.439 UTC [1] HINT: The server must be started by the user that owns the data directory.
I have changed nothing since I successfully launched it yesterday. I have now of course tried to reset the permissions on that folder.
This is on macOS 14.2 with Docker Desktop 4.25.0 (126437)
I am not even sure what the error indicates. Is it referring to the PostgreSQL server?
