Success. You can now start the database server using:

    postgres -D /var/lib/postgresql/data
or
    pg_ctl -D /var/lib/postgresql/data -l logfile start

FATAL:  could not create lock file "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432.lock": Permission denied

If I log into the container directly, I see the directory /var/run/postgresql/ is mode 2775 owned by root:root, so the postgres:postgres user:group can't actually create a pid file there.
