'Permission denied: '/var/lib/pgadmin/sessions' in Docker

I have got the same problem described in this post, but inside a docker container. I don't really know where my pgadmin file reside to edit it's default path.How do I go about fixing this issue? Please be as detailed as possible because I don't know how to docker.

Here is an abstract of the verbatim of docker-compose up command:

my docker-compose.yml:

  ### pgAdmin ##############################################
  pgadmin:
    image: dpage/pgadmin4:latest
    environment:
      - "PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL=${PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL}"
      - "PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD=${PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD}"
    ports:
      - "${PGADMIN_PORT}:80"
    volumes:
      - ${DATA_PATH_HOST}/pgadmin:/var/lib/pgadmin
    depends_on:
      - postgres
    networks:
      - frontend
      - backend

If you're on Windows, add this line to your docker-compose.yml. It gives container an access to your local folder

version: "3.9"
services:
  postgres:
    user: root  <- this one 
    container_name: postgres_container
    image: postgres:14.2

When running in kubernetes environment, I had to add these values.

   spec:
     containers:
       - name: pgadmin
         image: dpage/pgadmin4:5.4
         securityContext:
           runAsUser: 0
           runAsGroup: 0
