postgres uid causing container to be unusable

[simonaplin]

Describe The Bug:
When launching the container the postgres uid is set to 103. On my system 103 is already mapped to tss which makes the postgres folder unreachable by postgres inside the container.

To Reproduce:
Launch the container on a system where 103 is mapped to tss

Expected behavior:
I would really like it if there was an environment variable to specify a uid for the postgres user created in the startup script to prevent local conflicts like this.

Right now there is no startup script that creates the postgres user it is done during image creation. It shouldn't be too hard to add, I will look into what the proper way to do this in an image is.

Any manual workaround? I'm getting same problem with Fedora / Podman environment.

I haven't had the time to look into this. As far as I can tell in the 1.5.4 tags the UID of the postgres user is 1000.
