chmod: changing permissions of '/var/run/postgresql': Operation not permitted #1144
Description
Hi,
I'm running this in my compose:
paperless-ngx_db:
image: docker.io/library/postgres:15
container_name: paperless-ngx_db
user: 1000:100
volumes:
- /srv/dev-disk-by-label-HC2/AppData/paperless-ngx_db/data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
- /etc/passwd:/etc/passwd:ro
environment:
- POSTGRES_DB=xxx
- POSTGRES_USER=xxx
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD=xxx
restart: unless-stopped
So running it as another user.
In the logs I see:
01:10:05

Read other issues about this but I'm not sure if my compose is ok and if I can just ignore this error.
Thanks!

I am curious to know why you are overriding the user? The default user and group for postgres is

It's an habit, i run "all" containers rootless.

Yeah, it's OK to ignore this error -- our entrypoint specifically ignores errors from this command because it's intended to be a best-effort change that will fail in exactly the case you're in (running as non-root). 👍
