Research direction

Start with the .env settings and Docker Compose volume configuration, then reproduce the installation with PGDATA set and unset while an existing PostgreSQL directory is present at /var/lib/postgresql. Trace which configuration controls the database data location and verify that the documented location is used without installation failure.

Description

Hey,

I tried to set up an open project instance, but even when setting PGDATA in the .env file the specified location isn't respected an the installation fails because I already have an older postgresql installation at /var/lib/postgresql. Removing PGDATA from .env to use the volume didn't work either.
