Annotation Tool: data is not persisted when using local version

[venuraja79]

Describe the bug
wasn't sure if this is really a defect, still thought may be useful if someone comes across this.

The PGDATA env variable in the postgresql docker image refers to "/var/lib/postgresql/data" whereas in docker-compose.yml the mount volume points to "/var/lib/psql/data". Noticed that the data is not persisted.

Error message
no error message, Annotation data is not persisted across restarts

Expected behavior
Annotated Data should be available after a restart

Additional context
Had to change the volume as below in docker-compose.yml for the data to be persisted
volumes:
- ./postgres-data: /var/lib/postgresql/data

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior
docker compose up (Annotation tool)

System:

• OS: NA
• GPU/CPU: NA
• Haystack version (commit or version number): NA
