Postgresql docker volume failing at windows

Question

I have a docker in my Macbook that is working, with the following script:

version: '2'
services:
  nginx:
    image: nginx:latest
    container_name: nz01
    ports:
      - "8000:8000"
    volumes:
      - ./src:/src
      - ./config/nginx:/etc/nginx/conf.d
    depends_on:
      - web
  web:
    build: .
    container_name: dz01
    depends_on:
      - db
    volumes:
      - ./src:/src
    expose:
      - "8000"
  db:
    image: postgres:latest
    container_name: pz01
    ports:
        - "5433:5432"
    volumes:
      - ./postgres-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data

When I replicate it at windows 10 without Hyper-V, so I working with docker toolbox the postgres container is failing with the following log:

The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

To get this log I deleted the /postgres-data directory in my windows folder, because previously I got an error refering of users permissions, so I thought about delete folder, and Docker automatically will generate the folder.

I google the error that I get and I can not find any related, so I do not know why is happening it...

Any help?

Have you shared the windows drive with Docker? Like so imgur.com/a/tXb4qHu — chris

I had a similar issue with Docker in MAC M2 ARM.

Disabling "VirtioFS" fixed my issue.

Finally I solve it.

I restart the whole computer, delete the repo and start all again from desktop. As I have seen in the Docker docs, the folder must be in a public path, such as C:/Users/YourUser

After that, I do not have any problem.
