I have a DOCKER container built from a few different images using a .yml, Dockerfile(s), etc. Everything builds and runs fine so far, except for this one issue that I am seeing mentioned in the title:
index-db_1 | 2021-02-22 23:18:33.388 UTC [31] WARNING: could not open statistics file "pg_stat_tmp/global.stat": Operation not permitted
That Database Index is mapped to a Folder on the host in the root of the Docker Package, and everything else seems to work fine as far as the database is concerned. I am using a Mac, but if I list permission from CLI for the DB folder I get:

pg_stat folder is actually empty.
and pg_stat_temp has:
-rw------- 1 sscotti staff 1952 Feb 22 17:54 db_0.stat
-rw------- 1 sscotti staff 20360 Feb 22 17:54 db_13395.stat
-rw------- 1 sscotti staff 1151 Feb 22 17:54 global.stat
The .yml file has this:
index-db:
image: postgres
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
- ./OrthancIndex:/var/lib/postgresql/data
Is that something that can just be ignored given that it is a Docker container.
Adding a comment about the same setup on UBUNTU.

I actually get the same error on UBUNTU:

Although here the user and group are systemd-coredump.
Writing this down as much for my future self as to answer the question: looking over at the documentation and taking @Fide's solution above, the following seems to work on MacOSX Monterey running a PostGIS image (which is just built on top of the Postgres images)...
Note that this is taken from a shell script to launch a Postgres+PostGIS image with a persistent local store on the host system:
WORK_DIR="$HOME/Documents/git/project"
DOCKER_NM="postgis"
DOCKER_IMG="postgis/postgis"
POSTGRES_PWD="XXX"
PORT_NO="5432"
docker run --name $DOCKER_NM \
-e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=$POSTGRES_PWD \
-e PGDATA=/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata \
-v "$WORK_DIR/data/postgres":/var/lib/postgresql/data \
-p "$PORT_NO:5432" -d $DOCKER_IMG \
postgres -c stats_temp_directory=/tmp
If you were running from the Terminal directly (i.e. not via zsh/bash) then you'd need to export each of the parameters instead of just specifying them.
With this the global.stat error seems to have gone away... though I should note that I've only just figured this out and have been running the container for less than 60 minutes. The alternative would be to follow the instructions on that page for creating and using a persistent custom conf file (extending @SScotti's comment above) as mounted from the local FS:
-v "$PWD/my-postgres.conf":/etc/postgresql/postgresql.conf
