realsprint/postgis repository overview

⁠realsprint/postgis

The realsprint/postgis image provides a Docker container running Postgres 11 with PostGIS 2.5⁠ installed.

This image ensures that the default database created by the parent postgres image will have the following extensions installed:

• postgis
• postgis_topology
• fuzzystrmatch
• postgis_tiger_geocoder

Unless -e POSTGRES_DB is passed to the container at startup time, this database will be named after the admin user (either postgres or the user specified with -e POSTGRES_USER). If you would prefer to use the older template database mechanism for enabling PostGIS, the image also provides a PostGIS-enabled template database called template_postgis.

⁠Usage

In order to run a basic container capable of serving a PostGIS-enabled database, start a container as follows:

docker run --name some-postgis -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword -d realsprint/postgis
