Kiwi TCMS.

This can be used to setup a Kiwi TCMS Server.
Kiwi TCMS - https://kiwitcms.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Since the Kiwi TCMS image default uses non-root user in image and this user does not have write permission to host directory with bind mount. Need to perform followings to make it work with bind mount.

mkdir -p ./kiwitcms-data/uploads
chown -R 1001:1001 ./kiwitcms-data

For backup of pgsql database we will need to create a directory and set the correct ownership.

mkdir -p ./pgsql-db/backups
chown -R 1000:1000 ./pgsql-db/backups
