⁠docker-postgis set up image

How to build the image:

docker build -t ingmapping/postgis git://github.com/ingmapping/docker-postgis

or

docker pull ingmapping/postgis

⁠docker-postgis run

How to run the container:

docker run --name="docker-postgis" -p 5432:5432 -d -t ingmapping/postgis

To store data on the host rather than the container, you can mount your created import directory using -v argument:

mkdir -p /data/import
docker run --name="docker-postgis" -p 5432:5432 -v /path/to/desired/import/data:/data/import -d -t ingmapping/postgis

You need to ensure the data import directory has sufficient read/write permissions.

Furthermore, you can use environment variables such as "-e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password" or "-e POSTGRES_USER=user" to set a password or username, e.g:

docker run --name="docker-postgis" -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password -e POSTGRES_USER=user -v /path/to/desired/import/data:/data/import -d -t ingmapping/postgis
