Self Hosted (Docker)

Steps to reproduce

Environment:

  • Windows Subsystem for Linux 2
  • Docker Desktop for Windows (version 4.10.1 (82475))

Issue:
I am unable to access http://localhost/install and set up an admin account. The docker-db-1 postgres:15-alpine container is restarting and not booting up. The other seven containers are starting up normally.

Error Message:

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.

fixing permissions on existing directory /var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata ... 2024-05-06T21:59:46.361945407Z chmod: /var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata: Operation not permitted
initdb: error: could not change permissions of directory "/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata": Operation not permitted
chmod: /var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata: Operation not permitted

Temporary Solution:
I commented out the volume mount for the Postgres data directory in the Docker Compose file, which resolved the issue. However, this is a temporary solution. When I run docker compose down, the admin account is reset, so a different solution is likely needed.

# The postgres database.
db:
  image: postgres:15-alpine
  restart: always
  environment:
    PGUSER: postgres
    # The password for the default postgres user.
    POSTGRES_PASSWORD: difyai123456
    # The name of the default postgres database.
    POSTGRES_DB: dify
    # postgres data directory
    PGDATA: /var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata
  # Commented out the volume mount for the Postgres data directory
  # volumes:
    # - ./volumes/db/data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
  # uncomment to expose db(postgresql) port to host
  # ports:
  #   - "5432:5432"

✔️ Expected Behavior

The http://localhost/install should start up normally, allowing me to set up an admin account. Even after running docker compose down followed by docker compose up -d, the admin account should persist and not be reset.

❌ Actual Behavior

Currently, I am unable to access http://localhost/install and set up an admin account. The docker-db-1 postgres:15-alpine container is restarting and not booting up. The other seven containers are starting up normally. Moreover, when I run docker compose down followed by docker compose up -d, the admin account is reset.
