Docker — PostgreSQL Permission Error Fix

July 21, 2021Updated Feb 17, 2026

If a container created with the sameersbn/postgresql:12-20200524 image keeps shutting down due to permission errors in the logs, removing the volume mount and toggling it off and on again resolves the issue.

Since it's a database and there's rarely a need to access it through a mount, this workaround works fine for now.
