Bug 1696732

Description of problem:

When upgrading Postgres from 9.2, there is a selinux issue creating the socket if you're using a Gluster file backed PVC.

It was discussed here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1645687

But seems like it will end up as WONT_FIX.

Customer is looking for an environment variable to set the socket file directory (unix_socket_directories) per the recommendations from the other BZ.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Postgres 10

How reproducible:

Always.

Simple test:

python -c "import socket as s; sock = s.socket(s.AF_UNIX); sock.bind('/foo/test.sock')"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/socket.py", line 224, in meth
    return getattr(self._sock,name)(*args)
socket.error: [Errno 13] Permission denied

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create postgres persistent container backed by a gluster / OCS file PVC
2. 
3.

Actual results:

Permission denied to create the socket

Expected results:

While it should work, we are looking for a configurable to set the unix_socket_directories for the image.
