Getting permission exception when run docker-compose up with dpage/pgadmin4 image


I'm trying to build a ruby rails docker-compose postgreSQL db with pgadmin4, but keep getting permission exception from the container. Even /bin/sh in the container returns the same error.

I'm using Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS

    volumes:
      - postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/data
  pgadmin:

(ruby rails services are removed because I don't think it's relevant)

revmoing the volumes in pgadmin container allows me to use /bin/sh in the container, but I can't use any command


Solution

  • I had the same problem. I could solve it by mounting the volume at a slightly different location:

        volumes:
          - pgadmin:/var/lib/pgadmin4/storage
    

    Note that in your script it was mounted at /var/lib/pgadmin/storage.
