docker-compose - "FATAL: role "root" does not exist"

[KenJ]

Using the attached docker-compose.yml file, running a docker-compose up, I get the following errors over an over again in the logs:

postgres                 | FATAL:  role "root" does not exist

  *

  *

awx_task                 | django.db.utils.OperationalError: FATAL:  role "root" does not exist

  *

  *

awx_web                  | django.db.utils.OperationalError: FATAL:  role "root" does not exist

It seems to be related to the "user: root" definitions within the docker-compose.yml file, but those lines were created by the awx install script.

Any ideas? Should I be calling out a different "user: " within the docker-compose file?

Thanks!!

I've no problem with the same docker-comppose.yml file

Who's the user that runs your 'docker-compose up' command? Did you followed the docker-ce post installation steps here to "Manage Docker as a non-root user"

[KenJ]

I was running the docker-compose up command as a non-root user.

> sudo docker-compose up

The security warnings listed in the docker-ce post installation steps made me not want to add the non-root user to the docker group.

[KenJ]

I went and added the non-root user to the docker group, as instructed in the post-installation doc.

> sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Same errors.

If I comment-out the "user: root" lines in the docker-compose file, the errors change to

  django.db.utils.OperationalError: FATAL:  role "awx" does not exist
