Hey there, thanks a lot for pyfedi it’s a really nice addition to the network !

I tried to run the docker install and hit some issues with the database:

db-1            | initdb: error: could not change permissions of directory "/var/lib/postgresql/data": Operation not permitted  
db-1            | fixing permissions on existing directory /var/lib/postgresql/data ...

The problem is that for some reason after cloning the pg folder is owned by root, so it can’t change permissions. I had to change owner to 1000 and then the rest of the install procedure went flawlessly !

    Thanks for reporting your fix, I had the same issue!

    I suspect that adding

          PUID: 1000  
      PGID: 1000

    to the environment section of compose.yaml would stop this from occurring but I haven’t tried it.
