My version of HedgeDoc is: <please replace me>
What I expected to happen:
I expected that the application would start up based on the documentation, but instead it seems to be searching through a list of IP addresses and port numbers looking for a database and I do not know what the reference is for these 10.89* ip addresses.
What actually happened:
Podman startup Log, complete with Postgres 18 error?
podman-compose up
hedgedoc_database_1
hedgedoc_app_1

[database] | Error: in 18+, these Docker images are configured to store database data in a
[database] | format which is compatible with “pg_ctlcluster” (specifically, using
[database] | major-version-specific directory names). This better reflects how
[database] | PostgreSQL itself works, and how upgrades are to be performed.
[database] |
[database] | See also Change `PGDATA` in 18+ to `/var/lib/postgresql/MAJOR/docker` by tianon · Pull Request #1259 · docker-library/postgres · GitHub
[database] |
[database] | Counter to that, there appears to be PostgreSQL data in:
[database] | /var/lib/postgresql/data (unused mount/volume)
[database] |
[database] | This is usually the result of upgrading the Docker image without
[database] | upgrading the underlying database using “pg_upgrade” (which requires both
[database] | versions).
[database] |
[database] | The suggested container configuration for 18+ is to place a single mount
[database] | at /var/lib/postgresql which will then place PostgreSQL data in a
[database] | subdirectory, allowing usage of “pg_upgrade --link” without mount point
[database] | boundary issues.
[database] |
[database] | See Upgrading between major versions? · Issue #37 · docker-library/postgres · GitHub for a (long)
[database] | discussion around this process, and suggestions for how to do so.
