dmitrievav/citus-rancher repository overview

https://github.com/dmitrievav/citus-docker⁠

⁠citus-docker

This fork was customized to be run on Rancher OS

Dockerfile for CitusDB⁠, sharded scalable postgresql database.

⁠How to use this image

The image is based off of the official postgres image⁠ and supports the same options.

In addition, new environment variables have been added:

CITUS_MASTER denotes that this instance is the citus master node. All citus workers should be linked to this container (and should contain citus in their name).

CITUS_STANDALONE marks a citus master as a worker as well.

⁠Testing the image

The image defined in this repo can be tested using Rancher OS⁠.

To launch a citus cluster with a master node and 2 workers - create new stack and provide options by docker-compose.yml

For an example for setting up a distributed table and on how to run queries on it, see CitusData docs: Examples with Sample Data⁠.

These commands should be run from inside your docker instance:
