Unable to start 18beta2 with mounted volume #1353
Description
I'm trying to use the 18beta2 tagged images, but they will not start up with a mounted volume:
docker run -v $(mktemp -d):/var/lib/postgresql/data -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=test postgres:18beta2This yields the following error (newlines added for readability):
docker: Error response from daemon: failed to create task for container:
failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed:
unable to start container process: error during container init:
error mounting "/tmp/tmp.pmSoeOATor" to rootfs at "/var/lib/postgresql/data":
change mount propagation through procfd: open o_path procfd:
open /var/lib/docker/overlay2/c0d5a32976817b905487f8cd519c8399dcea6c28aad09a189010d9b806b08172/merged/var/lib/postgresql/data:
no such file or directory
I see a similar error when trying to run in k8s as well. Using any of the version 17 images works just fine.

For version 18+ the volume is now at
/var/lib/postgresql, I imagine the documentation will update when 18 is released proper?tianon commentedon Jul 25, 2025
See docker-library/docs#2582 for where the documentation was updated. 😅
