Manageiq: Docker container only works in an ephemeral fashion

[meng-tian]

I noticed the Dockerfile has VOLUME [ "/var/opt/rh/rh-postgresql95/lib/pgsql/data" ], so I mounted a host directory to this volume to persist the data.

However, recreating a container with the same host directory mounted will bring a broken container.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

# this container works fine
$ docker --name manageiq -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -v /var/data:/var/opt/rh/rh-postgresql95/lib/pgsql/data manageiq/manageiq:fine-2 

$ docker stop manageiq

$ docker rm manageiq

# this container does not work
$ docker --name manageiq -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -v /var/data:/var/opt/rh/rh-postgresql95/lib/pgsql/data manageiq/manageiq:fine-2 

Is the Docker container design here take persistent into consideration?
