The chmod commands in the entrypoint will fail because the script is executed as the pgbouncer user (line 30 in Dockerfile sets 'USER pgbouncer' before ENTRYPOINT). Either move these chmod commands to the Dockerfile before the USER directive, or run the entrypoint as root and switch users within the script using 'su' or 'gosu'.
