Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/matze/wastebin/issues/169

When i specify a database path, there is an error

$ docker run -e WASTEBIN_DATABASE_PATH=/data/state.db -v `pwd`/data:/data quxfoo/wastebin:latest 
Error: sqlite error: unable to open database file: /data/state.db

Seems like db file should already exist when I run an application, but how to create an initial database?

Seams my problem was bas access rights to /data folder.
May be because I have not usual 1000 UID:

alex@AlexNAS:~/Drive/services/wastebin$ id -u
1026

It works like this:

docker run \
   --user $(id -u):$(id -g) \
   -e RUST_LOG=trace \
   -e WASTEBIN_DATABASE_PATH=/data/state.db \
   -v "$(pwd)/data:/data" \
   quxfoo/wastebin:latest

Thanks for digging deeper. I adjusted the README.md for the next one who stumbles upon this.
