Changing ownership of '/var/lib/postgresql/data' fails in immich_postgres

After the initial setup (both with install script and docker compose), immich_postgres fails with this error on a fedora machine:

find: ‘/var/lib/postgresql/data’: Permission denied
chown: changing ownership of '/var/lib/postgresql/data': Permission denied
chmod: changing permissions of '/var/lib/postgresql/data': Permission denied
find: ‘/var/lib/postgresql/data’: Permission denied
chown: changing ownership of '/var/lib/postgresql/data': Permission denied
chmod: changing permissions of '/var/lib/postgresql/data': Permission denied

chmod: changing permissions of '/var/lib/postgresql/data': Permission denied

Saw that many have a similar issue, but I can't find a fix for it
