Data directory "/shared/postgres_data" has group or world access

When I try to ./laucher bootstrap app discourse it fetches the docker image from the registry and quickly fails afer on

LOG:  skipping missing configuration file "/shared/postgres_data/postgresql.auto.conf"
2016-08-10 18:21:43 UTC [53-2] FATAL:  data directory "/shared/postgres_data" has group or world access
2016-08-10 18:21:43 UTC [53-3] DETAIL:  Permissions should be u=rwx (0700).

My volume configuration is as such:

## The Docker container is stateless; all data is stored in /shared
volumes:
  - volume:
      host: /data/discourse/shared/standalone
      guest: /shared
  - volume:
      host: /data/discourse/shared/standalone/log/var-log
      guest: /var/log

/data is a partition on a second disk (formatted as ext4) but that never proved to be an issue with docker for me before, I run my private docker registry the same way. /data/discourse doesn’t exist prior to ./launcher bootstrap app, it is created by by the launcher so I presume it could give it the permissions it wants.

And here’s my docker info:

Any clue?

What is your LANG setting?

The last time I got this error was because I used something other than LANG: en_US.UTF-8.

See:

fr_FR.UTF-8

I changed it so the initial welcome and everything would be in French.

I see from your linked topic that I only have to set DISCOURSE_DEFAULT_LOCALE: fr. Maybe LANG shouldn’t be configurable if it’s unnecessary and broken.

I’ll try to make the fix first thing in the morning when I get to the office.

Thanks a lot!

I have the same problem, you reset the LANG variable in the app.yml file with this value: en_US.UTF-8.
I have recompile the locales inside the docker contenainer but that’s not work.

J’ai le même problème, qui se resout en remettant dans le fichier app.yml la valeur
en_US.UTF-8 pour la variable LANG.
j’ai pourtant reconfigurer les locales du conteneur docker mais j’ai eu la même erreur
Bizarre que l’on ne puisse pas compiler en français

Is it OK @zogstrip ?

Hey guys, hope you can help me as I am stuck…

I have the same problem, but I have never modified the LANG variable.
Recently upgraded to beta10, all seemed to work, but trying to install the babble plugin, and then I have this error when trying to rebuild:
