Docker + postgres

Docker Engine Compose
,

I am using M2 chip.
Docker version 24.0.5

version: "3.5"
volumes:
  postgres:

services:

  pgsql2:
    ports:
      - "5432:5432"
    container_name: "${LOCALSTACK_DOCKER_NAME-pgsql2}"
    image: postgres:15.3
    restart: always
    environment:
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: password
      POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD: trust
      PGDATA: "/data/postgres"
    volumes:
      - "./postgres:/data/postgres"
      - "./dump.sql:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/dump.sql"
    user: ${UID}:${GID}

This is my docker compose file. I want to initialize database while running the container.
I am getting this error while doing docker-compose up pgsql2

initdb: error: could not change permissions of directory ā€œ/data/postgresā€: Operation not permitted
pgsql2 | fixing permissions on existing directory /data/postgres ā€¦

Tried most of solution like changing image or using named volumes.
Any help is appreciated!

I moved the topic to the compose category before reading @meyayā€™s post, but Iā€™m pretty sure it was nothing to do with the community. I mean the whole website is for questions answared by the community, but the question is not about the community,

I think you should just read the image description more carefully: postgres
You set the PGDATA to the moint point while the descriptions recommends mounting the parent folder not data

PGDATA

Important Note: when mounting a volume to /var/lib/postgresql, the /var/lib/postgresql/data path is a local volume from the container runtime, thus data is not persisted on the mounted volume.

You probably canā€™t change the ownership of the moint point.
