enouvoci/postgis-replication repository overview

⁠Postgres Streaming Replication

Enhanced version of the official Postgres image to support streaming replication out of the box.

Postgres-replication is meant to be used with orchestration systems such as Kubernetes.

⁠Tags

Images are automatically updated when the official postgres image⁠ is updated.

Supported tags:

• 9.6, 9, latest (9.6⁠)
• 9.5 (9.5⁠)

⁠Run with Docker Compose

docker-compose up

⁠Run with Docker

To run with Docker, first run the Postgres master:

docker run -p 127.0.0.1:5432:5432 --name postgres-master enouvoci/postgis-replication

Then Postgres slave(s):

docker run -p 127.0.0.1:5433:5432 --link postgres-master \
           -e POSTGRES_MASTER_SERVICE_HOST=postgres-master \
           -e REPLICATION_ROLE=slave \
           -t enouvoci/postgis-replication

⁠Notes

Replication is set up at container start by putting scripts in the /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d folder. This way the original Postgres image scripts are left untouched.

See Dockerfile⁠ and official Postgres image⁠ for custom environment variables.
