Docker-compose mount postgress database for tests

I'm trying to put together a compose file for my development environment, but I'm having problems finding some convinient way to setup a database filled with test data. I tried mounting directory from my project as a data folder for postgres container, but it mounts as root and postgres throws: 



data directory “/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata” has wrong ownership


Named volume works, but it would be problematic to use it with a git repo.



I could also just copy data directly into a docker image, but then I'd have to rebuild it whenever data changes.



Is there any other way around this?

  • @ChrisStryczynski I created Dockerfile for postgres and added RUN mkdir -p "$PGDATA" && chown postgres "$PGDATA" (PGDATA set to /var/lib/postgresql/data) I still get FATAL: data directory "/var/lib/postgresql/data" has wrong ownership I guess ownership changes when compose mounts volume.

  • You need to do the chown on the directory you mount - not the directory within the container (dockerfile). The mounted directory overrides whatever is in the container.

You'll need to determine the userid of the postgresql user, this can be done with id -u postgres (within the container).



Replace 1234 with the id you get from the above.



Then on the volume that you mount, from the host you need to do chown -R 1234:1234 path/to/volume/that/you/are/mounting.

  • Not possible since container is stopped after fatal is rised. I could theorethically write bash script to switch ownership and use it as entrypoint, but thats starting to get messy.

Can a sorcerer learn a 5th-level spell early by creating spell slots using the Font of Magic feature?

Image
28 6 $begingroup$ Per the Font of Magic feature, sorcerer can use Flexible Casting to create 5th-level spell slots at level 7, even though they are not typically available until level 9. You can transform unexpended sorcery points into one spell slot as a bonus action on your turn. The Creating Spell Slots table shows the cost of creating a spell slot of [5th level is 7] If such a sorcerer levels up while still having this 5th-level spell slot, can they choose a 5th-level spell as the spell they gain upon levelling up? The Spellcasting feature states: Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the sorcerer spells you know and replace it with another spell from the sorcerer spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Does disintegrating a polymorphed enemy still kill it after the 2018 errata?

Image
up vote 13 down vote favorite 1 After the 2018 errata, the disintegrate spell description now reads: A creature targeted by this spell must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 10d6 + 40 force damage. The target is disintegrated if this damage leaves it with 0 hit points. If you were to polymorph an enemy into a rat and then disintegrate it, would the enemy be disintegrated or would it just return to its original form? I know that for Druids, it’s not an instant kill anymore, but is this the case for polymorph as well? dnd-5e spells polymorph errata share | improve this question edited 18 hours ago

A Topological Invariant for $pi_3(U(n))$

Image
3 3 $begingroup$ Recently, I saw a construction of topological invariant for $pi_3(U(n))$ with $ngeq 2$ : $$ N=frac{1}{24pi^2}int_{S^3} d^3x epsilon^{ijk} Tr[(U^{-1}partial_{x_i}U)(U^{-1}partial_{x_j}U)(U^{-1}partial_{x_k}U)] , $$ where $Uin U(n)$ depends on $boldsymbol{x}=(x_1,x_2,x_3)in S^3$ , $epsilon^{ijk}$ is the Levi-Civita symbol, $i,j,k=1,2,3$ , and the duplicated indexes are summed over. It is claimed that $N$ is an integer, but why? Update 02/02/2019 I think I got an argument for $n=2$ . In this case, $U=e^{i varphi} q$ with $qin SU(2)$ . Due to the trace and the Levi-Civita symbol in $N$ , $varphi$ does not contribute to $N$ . As $Tr[q^{dagger}partial_i q]=0$ and $(q^{dagger}partial_i q)^{dagger}=-q^{dagger}partial_i q$ , $q^{dagger}partial_i q$ in geneeral has the form $q^{dagger}partia
