# Which Problems Are Solved
1. Postgres spams FATAL: role "root" does not exist as mentioned in
https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/discussions/7832 (even with -U)
2. The compose commands for a ZITADEL deployment with initial service
account key don't work out-of-the box with a non-root user, because
docker creates non-existing directories to bind-mount with root
ownership.

# How the Problems Are Solved
1. The branch bases on https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/pull/8826. The
env vars are cleaned up and prettified across compose files.
2. A command is added to the docs that creates the directory with the
current users permission. The ZITADEL container runs with the current
users ID.
