⁠PostgreSQL Docker Plus

This builds on the official PostgreSQL docker image⁠ to add the following plugins:

⁠Process for creating a Dockerhub image for a new Postgres version

• Create or checkout the branch for the major version of Postgres. (example: git checkout 14).
• Update the Dockerfile with the specific point release of Postgres (example: 14.3).
• Build the image using the process documented below⁠.
• Update the Dockerfile and repeat previous step as necessary until success.
• Commit changes.
• Create a tag for the point release (example: git tag 14.3).
• Push the branch and tags (example: git push; git push --tags).
• Verify build is queued on Dockerhub⁠.

⁠Building manually

export tag=<version-tag>
export base_image=dimagi/docker-postgresql
export image=$base_image:$tag

# list existing image

docker rm -fv "$image"
docker rmi "$image"

# build new image
