I don't want to be the "You're doing it wrong!" guy, but you're doing it
wrong. If a container only gives you a single persistent storage path,
then don't use it as PGDATA directly, but create PGDATA as one of the
directories in that path. And create a directory for other stuff next to
it, not in the data directory.

That will also pave the way for an upgrade in the future, where you might need another directory for data, e.g. PGDATA-10, PGDATA-11, etc.
