dspace/dspace-postgres-pgcrypto repository overview

⁠PostgreSQL image for DSpace

This is a custom image based off the PostgreSQL Official Image, with the required 'pgcrypto' extension installed.

Documentation available in our codebase at: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/main/dspace/src/main/docker/README.md#dspace-postgres-pgcryptodockerfile⁠

⁠Which version should I use?

Use the tagged release which corresponds to your version of DSpace.

• Versioned released (e.g. dspace-10.0 tag) - Correspond to the same release as available at https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/releases⁠
  • NOTE: These version tags are static and will not be updated after the release occurs. The next release will have a new version tag.
• dspace-10_x - Latest version of v10.x (dspace-10_x branch in GitHub), also including unreleased code. As this is a maintenance branch, there is a non-zero chance it could include unstable code as it includes all daily commits to that branch.
  • NOTE: This tag is dynamic and updates whenever new code is added to the maintenance branch. Therefore it will also include security updates from any base images.
• latest - Bleeding edge code on the main branch in GitHub. This should NEVER BE USED IN PRODUCTION as it may not be stable.
  • NOTE: This tag is dynamic and updates whenever new code is added to the main branch.

⁠Recommendation

To preserve database content when stopping an image, direct the database to store data on a docker volume using the PGDATA variable.
