@Specik
Can you please share your config files? It seems you are with readonly root only file system?

[adityatoshniwal]

@Specik Also share the docker start command. I suspect you've mounted /pgadmin4

Hi Guys,

Thank you for fast reply :)

In mean time i found that when I execute it with 'docker run' command, it is working.
Problem is when I execute it with 'docker compose'.

So, i understand problem is probably on my side or with docker compose. Not inside image.... maybe.

Thx for ideas, anyway.

Working:
docker run -it -d -e PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL=admin@test.com -e PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD=password -p 8080:80 -v ${HOME}/DOCKER/postgres-docker/pgadmindata:/var/lib/pgadmin dpage/pgadmin4

Not working - docker-compose file:

volumes:
    pgadmin-data:
        driver: local
        driver_opts:
            type: 'none'
            o: 'bind'
            device: '${HOME}/DOCKER/postgres-docker/pgadmindata'

  pgadmin:
    image: dpage/pgadmin4
    container_name: common_pgadmin4
    restart: always
    ports:
      - "8888:80"
    environment:
      PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL: admin@test.com
      PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD: password
    volumes:
      - pgadmin-data:/var/lib/pgadmin
