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`:

```
