Hi David,

seems as you are running docker on windows. Have a look for this parameter:

• PERSISTENT_HOME is true by default, only specify to false if you are running Docker for Windows.

Set it to false and try to create container again.

Hello Markus, you seem to be knowledgeable about this issue so I'll try asking you here. I am running into the very same error message but on Mac OS, starting from a clean slate (no pre-existing Docker containers, no pre-existing volumes) i.e. the command
docker run -itd --name db2 --privileged=true -p 50000:50000 -e LICENSE=accept -e DB2INST1_PASSWORD=myPasswordWhatever -e DBNAME=testdb -v ~/Documents/tools/docker/volumes/db2/:/database ibmcom/db2
results in
The instance home directory "/database/config/db2inst1" is invalid because it is not owned by the user "db2inst1". Change the ownership of the home directory to be owned by the instance user and its primary group.

If I check the filesystem of my Mac at ~/Documents/tools/docker/volumes/db2/ I can see Docker did create the config folder, and the db2inst1 underneath it, of course on my FS the folder is owned by my user (the db2inst1 user does not even exist as far as my OS is concerned).

I'm running this on Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7 (19H2).

Hi, I am still on 10.15.6 because @Michael Krafick wrote on Twitter that he had issues starting db2 on docker on mac with latest mac release.... I assume that you already checked the docker prefs. -> resources -> file sharing if your folder (or a parent one) is shared?

Mike, can you assist here? Could you somehow fix it or was it maybe eliminated with a docker update?​

Thanks Markus, in the meantime I tried using the same fix suggested for Windows i.e. adding the -e PERSISTENT_HOME=false bit when creating the container, and it indeed seems to work. Not sure it's a best practice, since on the documentation that property is clearly flagged as Windows-only, but so far I haven't encountered any issue.

Hi Jürgen,
Docker on Windows needs Hyper-V to run its Linux machine. As Hyper-V is not available by default on Windows 10 Home, you will receive those errors. Search for Windows 10 Home Hyper-V and you will finde some easy instructions on how to activate even if not possible via system settings (you still have to fit hardware requirements like supported cpu).

Docker / DB2 works pretty good since 08/2020 on a 4 GB windows machine

on my Mac Mojave  I use a bind mount   -v <db storage dir>:/database​  to map a local storage dir into the container

Hi David,

The default permissions using -v {volume:volume} on Docker Desktop are probably incorrect.
Usually I make sure the entrypoint script sets the permissions for every bind volume mount point very early on.

Hope this helps you externalise the database.

The -v option on Docker Desktop for Windows requires additional Docker settings to be in place.  Open Docker Desktop settings, and add the file sharing resource as illustrated below.

The problem seems to have been resolved by adding "PERSISTENT_HOME=false" and removing the "-v" option on Windows. Without these changes I was unable to get it working.

I'm following the directions at: 

https://hub.docker.com/r/ibmcom/db2

The container creation with the instance creation is failing. I don't see how I can change the ownership of /database/config/db2inst1 as suggested below as this whole process is automatic.

D:\>docker run -itd --name geotools-db2 --privileged=true -p 50004:50000 -e LICENSE=accept -e DB2INST1_PASSWORD=mypw -v d:\docker-db2:/database ibmcom/db2

D:\>docker logs -f geotools-db2

DBI1446I The db2icrt command is running.


DB2 installation is being initialized.

The instance home directory "/database/config/db2inst1" is invalid because it
is not owned by the user "db2inst1". Change the ownership of the home directory
to be owned by the instance user and its primary group.

A major error occurred during the execution that caused this program to
terminate prematurely. If the problem persists, contact your technical service
representative.
