Dockerfile PostgreSQL

Info

This Dockerfile creates a container running PostgreSQL 9.2.4.

Here's what it does in particular:

• building Postgresql using dockyard
• exposing it on port 5432
• initializes a database in /var/lib/postgresql/9.2/main
• inserts a superuser in the database: docker:d0cker (change in the Dockerfile)

Install

• docker build -t "postgresql:9.2.4" .
• docker run -d postgresql:9.2.4

Persistance

You can mount the database directory as a volume to persist your data:

docker run -d -v $HOME/.d_volumes/postgres/:/var/lib/postgresql postgresql:9.2.4

But before you can do so you first need to create the source folder: mkdir -p $HOME/.d_volumes/postgres

Meta

Build with docker version 0.5.1
