Can't update grafana in docker from v 4.6.3 to v 5.2.2

Grafana Installation
1

We have Grafana v 4.6.3 docker container installed on Ubuntu machine. It uses volume grafana-storage. When I try to run latest version of grafana container with this volume it fails.

Here’s command I try to run:

 docker run \
    -d \
    -p 3000:3000 \
    --name=grafana-new \
    -v grafana-storage:/var/lib/grafana \
    -e GF_AUTH_ANONYMOUS_ENABLED=true \
    grafana/grafana:5.2.2

Here’re the logs:

Probably wrong permissions/owner. You need:

$ ls -lah $(docker volume inspect grafana-storage --format "{{.Mountpoint}}")
total 392K
drwxrwxrwx. 3  472  472   37 Aug  9 13:29 .
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root   18 Aug  9 13:28 ..
-rw-r--r--. 1  472  472 392K Aug  9 13:29 grafana.db
drwxrwxrwx. 2  472  472    6 Jun 29 10:40 plugins

Probably, this command command will fix it:

chown 472:472 --recursive $(docker volume inspect grafana-storage --format "{{.Mountpoint}}")

It helped. Thank you very much.

Why may be this necessary if your are specifying the proper GUID and PUID to the docker image?
