Harbor db image throws ./docker-entrypoint.sh: line 4: //initdb.sh: Permission denied errors after local build.

[hajnalmt]

After an install according to the docs, I didn't manage to setup harbor locally beacuse the db didn't start.

Problem description

The logs showed that the entrypoint gets permission denied when it calls the initdb.sh

docker logs harbor-db
./docker-entrypoint.sh: line 4: //initdb.sh: Permission denied
./docker-entrypoint.sh: line 4: //initdb.sh: Permission denied
./docker-entrypoint.sh: line 4: //initdb.sh: Permission denied
...

Reproduce the problem

I built the the db as BULDTARGET, switched the entrypoint to a sleep and indeed initdb.sh is mounted as root not the postgres user.

make build BUILDTARGET=_build_db
...

Execing into the image:

docker exec -it harbor-db sh

The problem is that this script is not added to the chown-ed one in the Dockerfile.

I am curious how this didn't come up for others. I checked and the official image doesn't have this problem because initdb has execute permissions.

Same is true for upgrade.sh

I have a fairly old compose version:

There were PRs regarding this, but they were disregarded because the user supposedly used an ARM-based system. https://github.com/goharbor/harbor/pull/18766
