Attempts to mount volumes fail with permissions errors in Colima, but not Docker Desktop

[Stokestack]

Description

I switched from Docker Desktop to Colima, but found I could no longer run my development environment. Specifically, I couldn't run Compose to build Supabase, because the process produced hundreds of errors like this:

supabase-db | chown: changing ownership of '/var/lib/postgresql/data': Permission denied

Version

colima version 0.6.9 git commit: c3a31ed05f5fab8b2cdbae835198e8fb1717fd0f

Operating System

• [ ] macOS Intel <= 13 (Ventura)
• [ ] macOS Intel >= 14 (Sonoma)
• [ ] Apple Silicon <= 13 (Ventura)
• [X] Apple Silicon >= 14 (Sonoma)
• [ ] Linux

Output of colima status

INFO[0000] colima is running using QEMU
INFO[0000] arch: aarch64
INFO[0000] runtime: docker
INFO[0000] mountType: sshfs
INFO[0000] socket: unix:///Users/me/.colima/default/docker.sock

Reproduction Steps

Install with Homebrew

brew install docker
brew install docker-credential-helper
brew install docker-compose
brew install colima

Go into ~/.docker/config.json and change the value for credsStore from desktop to osxkeychain Also add

 "cliPluginsExtraDirs": [
     "/opt/homebrew/lib/docker/cli-plugins"
 ]

Download Supabase

Get the code git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/supabase/supabase

Go to the docker folder cd supabase/docker

Copy the fake env vars cp .env.example .env

Make sure Colima is running colima start

Pull the latest images docker compose pull

Start the services (in detached mode) docker compose up -d

This will fail. Now stop Colima: colima stop

Launch Docker Desktop and retry: docker compose up -d

Expected behaviour

The container(s) is built and runs, as it does when Docker Desktop is running.

Additional context

Interestingly, it still works with Docker Desktop running even though I left the following in ~/.docker/config.json

	"credsStore": "osxkeychain",
	"currentContext": "colima",
