mini/postgresql repository overview

⁠mini/postgresql

PostgreSQL⁠ container.

⁠Usage

To run this container and bind port 5432:

docker run -d -p 5432:5432 mini/postgresql

You can now check the logs:

docker logs <CONTAINER_ID>

⁠Credentials

Credentials to access the PostgreSQL service are displayed in the container logs for admin user.

⁠Setting a custom password

By default this container will generate a random password for admin user. You can specify a fixed one by using POSTGRESQL_PASS environment variable:

docker run -d -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRESQL_PASS=mystrongpassword mini/postgresql

This will only be set the first time the data volume is initialized.

⁠Data and volumes

This container exposes /data as bind mount volume. You can mount it when starting the container:

docker run -v /mydata/postgresql:/data -d -p 5432:5432 mini/postgresql

We recommend you mount the volume to avoid loosing data between updates to the container.
