## Troubleshooting

### Wrong default user
Symptom: `connection to server on socket "/var/lib/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.50432" failed: FATAL: role "postgres" does not exist`

Symptom: `database user "postgres" is not the install user`

Solution: Pass your PostgreSQL init user at `docker run -e PGUSER="your-init-user"`
