I'm using this as a guide to run openproject in a container (podman actually).

https://www.openproject.org/docs/installation-and-operations/installation/docker/#using-this-container-in-production

docker.io/openproject/community  11          8c93bc00ebba  2 days ago  1.86 GB

This is the command I'm using

podman run -d -p 8080:80 --name openproject \
 -e SERVER_HOSTNAME=fovo.local \
 -e SECRET_KEY_BASE=$random32 \
 -v ~/.var/openproject/pgdata:/var/openproject/pgdata:Z \
 -v ~/.var/openproject/assets:/var/openproject/assets:Z \
 openproject/community:11

It initially works fine. I create a new project and add a bunch of stuff, but after podman stop openprojectfollowed by podman start openproject and connecting with a web browser, I can't login and the main page shows "There are no visible projects in this instance" where there should be the project I created.

However, there's ~69M of data added to ~/.var/openproject/ and when I inspect some of the files I can see the work package contents (titles, descriptions). So it did make it to persistent media, but for some reason isn't being used when I restart the container.

Attached is the command run with -it instead of -d to show output.
