Same bug, I solved the problem with:

chmod 777 ./keycloak/db/ -R

Found same bug when starting container. My docker-compose.yaml contains:

        volumes:
            - ./keycloak/db/:/opt/jboss/keycloak/standalone/data/

So, I had to mkdir -p ./keycloak/db/content which would create /opt/jboss/keycloak/standalone/data/ before running the container, and that worked. I just can notice this occurs since I’ve added x509 certificates to Keycloak to run it over https.
