⁠eea.docker.postgis - tag v9.6_2.4

PostgreSQL 9.6 with PostGIS 2.4

running the container with docker-compose will make you life easy.

⁠docker-compose.yml setup

setting ssl certificates is mandatory. setting the variable for pg_hba is mandatory as well.

⁠Release to production

The production deployment is not made with git clone and docker-compose build. Instead it pulls a tagged image from Docker Hub. When you have tested your changes and are satisfied, then you must push a new image up with a new version number that follows semantic versioning⁠ principles. Here is how you do it:

Therefore, if happy with master:

version=$(cat VERSION.txt)
git tag -a $version -m "Tagging the $version release of the 'eeacms/postgis' Docker image."
git commit -m "release of version $version"
git push origin $version

The purpose of the procedure is to be able to redeploy the exact same image on a new host, and to be able to roll back one or more versions if the deployment has problems.
