I am new to Docker and have learnt a couple of commands. I am trying to run a postgres database container via Docker and after pulling postgres with
docker pull postgres
I proceeded to running a container the container with the command:
docker run -d -p 3005:3005 --name postgres-wikijs-3005 --restart unless-stopped -e "DB_TYPE=postgres" -e "DB_HOST=postgres-wikijs-3005" -e "DB_PORT=5432" -e "DB_USER=wikijs" -e "DB_PASS=wikijs" -e "DB_NAME=postgres-wikijs-3005" requarks/wiki:2
But the container automatically stops running a few seconds after it starts with an error:
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user “postgres”.
This user must also own the server process.The database cluster will be initialized with locale “en_US.utf8”.
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to “UTF8”.
The default text search configuration will be set to “english”.Data page checksums are disabled.

How can i access the “/var/lib/postgresql/data” to modify the permissions via command line? I can’t seem to find that path in my local drive.
Thanks!
