NiFi Registry Access Denied

I am trying to dockerise the 3 services Zookeeper, NiFi and NiFi Registry below is the docker-compose.yml file

version: "3.7"
services:
    # configuration manager for NiFi
    zookeeper:
        hostname: myzookeeper

while running docker stack deploy -c docker-compose.local.yml nifi_docker the NiFi Registry is not running and its getting exited. The error that is thrown is

Caused by: org.h2.mvstore.MVStoreException: Could not open file /opt/nifi-registry/nifi-registry-current/database/nifi-registry-primary.mv.db 

Log File

I have also tried to specify the user tag also within the docker compose file not sure what is causing the issue.

When I change the following lines from

volumes:
            - nifi_registry_database:/opt/nifi-registry/nifi-registry-current/database
            - nifi_registry_flow_storage:/opt/nifi-registry/nifi-registry-current/flow_storage

to

volumes:
            - ./nifi_registry_database:/opt/nifi-registry/nifi-registry-current/database
            - ./nifi_registry_flow_storage:/opt/nifi-registry/nifi-registry-current/flow_storage

the registry seems to be up all the time but this would be creating the volumes locally, I want to be able to deploy the stack via GitLab on a Docker Server.

adding user: root to the docker-compose file will solve the issue.
