Hi,

I have a problem running the official postgres docker image with PGDATA set.

 

/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/scripts/docker run -it --name="Postgres" --net="bridge" --privileged="true" -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD="pw" -e PGDATA="/data" -e TZ="America/Los_Angeles" -p 5432:5432/tcp -v "/mnt/user/appdata/pgdata/":"/data":rw postgres:9.4

 

Output:

root@Appserver:~# /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/scripts/docker run -it --name="Postgres" --net="bridge" --privileged="true" -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD="pw" -e PGDATA="/data" -e TZ="America/Los_Angeles" -p 5432:5432/tcp -v "/mnt/user/appdata/pgdata/":"/data":rw postgres:9.4

The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres".

This user must also own the server process.

 

The database cluster will be initialized with locale "en_US.utf8".

The default database encoding has accordingly been set to "UTF8".

The default text search configuration will be set to "english".

 

Data page checksums are disabled.

initdb: removing contents of data directory "/data"

 

Someone can help me with this? It's working without PGDATA, but that's not an option for me since I need persistence storage tested it with 9.4 and latest, both are not working

I get the same problem as u ! Couldn't figure out if that's the security context for docker to work on "/data"

 

Since I create the folder, once I attempt to start docker Postgres the folder will be locked. Until being unlock by "chmod 777 /folder/"

 

But anyway, I couldn't start the persistence storage here, help wanted

I have tired to put chcon -Rt svirt_sandbox_file_t /folder

 

 

But no luck, returned : operation not supported

I fixed it by running it on a cache-only share and using /mnt/cache/pgdata. But that's just a workaround

bumping this up, since it isn't fixed yet and I have another filesystem problem in /mnt/user now and these may be related?

I had a share that exists only on my cache drive, but using that share in the path for the PGDATA did not work and had the exact same issues. Changing it to /mnt/cache/whatever worked. I don't like it, but it works.
